The McGovern Stringband is an acoustic Americana and Bluegrass all string band – featuring the vocals of father & son, Kelly McGovern (guitar) and Brian McGovern (mandolin). The McGovern String Band combines a wide variety of genres with a bluegrass style that is anchored by bass player and vocalist David Morris, with Daren Blythe on 5-string banjo.   Fiddler Sam Packard and Steve “Fuzzy” Blazek on resophonic guitar also join in when they can.  Kelly and David are honored to be Nebraska Performing Arts Hall of Fame members.

Their three part harmonies, combined with a percussive acoustic instrumentation, bring back that legendary high lonesome sound of Bluegrass.
