Introduction:Many American bluegrass fiddle tunes, as well as ballads, have their origins in old-time music associated with music out of the Appalachian Mountains, New England, Canada and some Southern and Mid-Western areas. However, many of these tunes roots came from Celtic history including the Irish, Scottish, English and Welsh cultures and traveled across the Atlantic Ocean to America. When the settlers came to America, not only did they play the old tunes and ballads, but new songs were composed that reflected their daily lives or events. Many of the reels, jigs, hornpipes and ballad names may have changed over the years, but the same tunes are still played today in the pubs in Ireland and at Bluegrass events across America.
Bluegrass also had African-American influences, including the banjo itself, which added rich melodic invention into the tunes. The Haywire Outfit Band brings old traditional and new tunes and ballads into its performance. They also add original composed tunes. The members of The Haywire Outfit Band had been playing at jams together since 2004, and became a band in 2009. The Haywire Outfit Band has played at local events, parties, banquets, fundraisers and funerals including: the Yakima Cattleman's Annual Banquet, Zillah's Bluegrass Festival, Naches Heights Winery, Terrace Heights Coffee House, Terrace Heights Grange, Buck Brannaman Horseman's Clinic, and the Wenas Mammoth Bluegrass Gathering.
