Bluegrass
The first band that comes right to mind are the Johnson Mountain Boys. My brother-in-law gave me a copy of their Live at the Birchmere album. They have the full package, fiddle, banjo, mandolin, guitar and harmonies. I'm gonna pick up more of their stuff at the next opportunity. They even thow in a little bluegrass gospel.
You'll never go wrong with the Del McCoury Band (which recently backed up Steve Earle) or Alison Krause and Union Station. I believe the mandolin picker from Union Station is Dan Tyminski who did the singing while George Clooneys character hides behind the mic emoting in O Brother Where Art Thou?
