Well, really 16 Horsepower are just one band from the whole "Americana" indie-rock movement. Not a bad band but their music's a pretty thin homage to Bluegrass I think.

Not to clog the thread with Earl Scruggs but here's a good video of him with a bunch of other pickers running a train on the banjo.
