BROKEN COMPASS BLUEGRASS
a refreshing new twist on bluegrass

BROKEN COMPASS BLUEGRASS
Broken Compass Bluegrass emerged in 2021 and has quickly gained recognition for their tight arrangements, tasteful picking, and standout songwriting. Hailing from Northern California, the band features Kyle Ledson, Django Ruckrich, Mei Lin Heirendt, and Sam Jacobs. Though young in years, each member is a seasoned performer, accomplished multi-instrumentalist, and prolific songwriter. Together, they’ve established themselves as one of California’s most exciting and fast-rising string bands.
With a rapidly growing reputation and an ever-expanding fanbase, Broken Compass Bluegrass is making waves as part of a new generation in the jamgrass and progressive acoustic scenes.
In just a few years, they’ve graced the stages of premier festivals such as High Sierra Music Festival, Strawberry Music Festival, WinterWonderGrass, and Bluegrass in La Roche (France), among many others. Their live shows are not to be missed—equal parts virtuosity and raw energy.
From the moment they take the stage, it’s clear that Broken Compass Bluegrass is something special. Their electrifying presence, rich harmonies, and intricate instrumental interplay blend tradition with innovation in a way that captivates audiences of all kinds. Whether you’re a lifelong bluegrass fan or simply looking for an unforgettable boot stomping musical experience, Broken Compass Bluegrass delivers a performance that’s both spellbinding and deeply inspiring
