GRANITE FALLS, Minn. —
The Becky Buller Band will be the featured act of the premiere broadcast of Season 5 of Grassland Jam, the bluegrass and Americana music program on Pioneer Public Television. The program will air on Saturday, March 23 at 7 p.m. CST and will be available for online viewing at 7:30 p.m. that night at www.pioneer.org/grasslandjam. The broadcast will be repeated on Monday, March 25 at noon. The performances were recorded at the Minnesota Bluegrass & Old Time Music Association Festival held in Richmond in August 2018.

Becky Buller is a multi-instrumentalist, singer, songwriter and producer from St. James who has traversed the globe performing bluegrass music. She is a two-time Grammy award-winning songwriter and an eight-time International Bluegrass Music Association (IBMA) award winner who made bluegrass music history in 2016 by becoming the first artist ever to win in both instrumental and vocal categories, as well as the first female to win Fiddle Player Of The Year.

Touring extensively with the Becky Buller Band, she recently released Crêpe Paper Heart, her fourth solo album and her second recording on the Dark Shadow Recording label. It reached #1 on the August 2018 Bluegrass Unlimited magazine Top 15 Bluegrass Albums chart.

Equally passionate about bluegrass music education, Becky has 20 years experience teaching fiddle, singing and songwriting at workshops and camps around the world.



Grassland Jam is produced and edited by Matthew Johnson. The program is made possible by contributions from the voters of Minnesota through a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.
