Empyrean Asunder and The Revenants are pretty damn good. I know a member from each band and they're VERY nice people. They're from Louisville, Kentucky.
Only band I know of locally is the Dry Valley Gamblers. They do kinda their own tribute to bluegrass, but it's in a way that gives it more of a rock feel, too. I rather enjoy their music.
