Broken Compass

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  coming up on two years as a band, they have already played some of the  most celebrated stages in the grass world, are set to release their  debut album, Fool’s Gold, and have a heavy stream of bookings ahead.
