The Harmans Bluegrass, is a multigenerational group rooted in Illinois, with musical traditions dating back to 1975. Founded by siblings Mike, Lori, and David “Bull” Harman, the group began as the Harman Trio and evolved into a family band that now includes Mike’s sons—Mark and John, their mother Stacy, and Bull’s son Wyatt. Their repertoire spans traditional and contemporary bluegrass, country, and gospel, reflecting their deep musical heritage. The Harmans are celebrated for their annual January concert at Lewis and Clark Community College in Godfrey, Illinois, a tradition they’ve upheld since 1978, drawing sell-out crowds each year. Their commitment to family, community, and authentic music has solidified their status as cherished figures in the Midwest’s bluegrass scene.
