In May 2002, the 5th European World of Bluegrass, affectionately known as EWOB, was held in Voorthuizen, Holland. The event featured 45 bands from 15 European countries, and 4 artists from the U.S.A., the home of bluegrass music.

Bands travel from countries as far-flung as Russia, Italy, and England to
perform at EWOB, which is organized by the European Bluegrass Music
Association (EBMA), and supported by the International Bluegrass Music
Association (IBMA). The musicianship, as well as the songwriting by some of
the non-native English-speaking artists is excellent, and it is truly heartwarming
to see this music spreading its branches throughout the world.

On this album, 26 groups each perform one number, recorded “live” during the EWOB 2002 event. Highlights include the very creative Reliéf [Czech Rep.] #1 European Bluegrass Band 2000; Red Wine [Italy] (#3 European Bluegrass Band 2002) on their first trip to EWOB; Nugget [Austria] #1 European Bluegrass Band 1999, #2 European Bluegrass Band 2002) – the smoothest of them all; Liz Meyer [USA] known for her powerful original songs, accompanied every year at EWOB by Nugget; special guests Sally Jones and the Sidewinders [USA] from Nashville; and the #1 European Bluegrass Band 2002, 4Wheel Drive [Netherlands], featuring Holland’s finest bluegrass singer, Theo Lissenberg.
