The Comet Bluegrass All-Stars

The Comet Bluegrass All-Stars were assembled in 1996 by Ed Cunningham as the Sunday night house band at The Comet, a neighborhood pub in Northside, Cincinnati. Since that time the popularity of the band has grown beyond the lounge at The Comet, opening for such national acts as Sam Bush, Blue Highway, Del McCoury and Ricky Skaggs.

The Sunday night sessions at the Comet are informal and known to draw a diverse, “listening” audience from small children to senior citizens. Those attending the shows find each member of the six-piece band accomplished singers and multi-instrumentalists in their own right, with the live combination of these players presenting an even greater sum than it’s parts, through amazing musical interplay and high lonesome bluegrass harmony.

The band has the bluegrass dialect of Northern Kentucky; all the players can sing as well as pick in the local sound that has developed over the last 50 years in Cincinnati. Rarely do we see a band with the high talent that has earned them the name allstars, with over 150 years of combined playing experience.

Band influences include; Bill Monroe, Jimmie Martin, Flatt and Scruggs, Jim and Jessie, the Osborne Brothers, Red Allen, Earl Taylor, Old and In The Way, Jerry Garcia, and even Warren Zevon to name a few....

This is a jam band that is based at a cool little spot called the Comet in Northside, Cincinnati, Ohio, where they serve gigantic burritos and provide tunes from the world's best juke box.

An evening with this band will thrill audiences with dazzling harmony, super hot picking and home grown humor. They never fail to win over a crowd and are the universal solution to nearly any musical opportunity.
