About
The members of Broken Compass Bluegrass (BCB), a young jamgrass quartet, grew up immersed in the music festivals of California. Before welcoming bassist Sam Jacobs to the band, Broken Compass was a trio composed of Kyle Ledson, Django Ruckrich, and Mei Lin Heirendt. Each began playing their respective instruments at a young age, inspired by both bluegrass and non-traditional artists. The trio was compared to the likes of Nickel Creek by Bluegrass Today. Talented bassist and audio engineer Sam Jacobs joined the group in the spring of 2022, adding immensely to the band’s potential and drive. The quartet is certainly a tight group musically, but their solid friendships are just as apparent, creating a preeminent show experience of impressive music and high spirits. Now just over two years old, they have already played some of the most celebrated stages in the grass world, released their debut album "Fool’s Gold," and have a heavy stream of bookings ahead.
