We publish our audit record because accuracy claims should be checkable. Every entry on this site runs through an automated fact-audit pipeline (accuracy audit → source-grounded repair → visual QA); this page is generated from that pipeline's own report, not written by hand.

Binkley Brothers' Dixie Clodhoppers — Jack Jackson's birth year is listed as 1909, but reliable sources indicate he was born in 1908.
Carolina Chocolate Drops — The statement that Súle Greg Wilson contributed to nearly half of Genuine Negro Jig is inaccurate; Wilson appears on only a few tracks of that album, not nearly half.
The Carolina Tar Heels — The entry states that the band's name was chosen by Ralph Peer, but historically the name 'Carolina Tar Heels' was already in use before Peer recorded them.
The Carolina Tar Heels — The entry says the second 1927 recording was for RCA-Victor, but RCA-Victor did not exist until later; the label was Victor.
Che Apalache — The band's name 'Apalache' is stated to be the Spanish word for Appalachia, but the correct Spanish term for Appalachia is 'Apalaches' (plural).
Che Apalache — The claim that they won the Clifftop old-time music contest in the neo-traditional band category in 2017 is incorrect. The Clifftop contest does not have a 'neo-traditional band category', and Che Apalache did not win the Clifftop contest in 2017.
Crooked Still — The entry states the band's songs 'Little Sadie' and 'Ecstasy' were featured in the 2018 gameplay trailer for The Last of Us Part II, but the trailer was released in 2017.
Crooked Still — The entry says 'In April 2025, the band appeared in the HBO series adaptation of The Last of Us, credited as Brittany and the Jug Boys.' This is a factual error: April 2025 has not occurred and there is no established canon for this appearance.
The Down Hill Strugglers — The claim that their album 'Old Man Below' (2012) won the Independent Music Award for Best Bluegrass Album is incorrect; the award was won by a different artist/album.
The Down Hill Strugglers — The band's start date may be inaccurate because the Dust Busters were active before 2008, with an album released in 2007.
Foghorn Stringband — The band was originally named Foghorn Leghorn: The band has always been known as Foghorn Stringband, not Foghorn Leghorn.
Foghorn Stringband — The founding members met at The National Oldtime Fiddlers' Contest in Weiser, Idaho in 2000: The claim that all founding members met there is an overgeneralization; only Stephen 'Sammy' Lind and Caleb Klauder met there.
The Freight Hoppers — The album 'Where’d You Come From, Where’d You Go?' was released in 1997, not 1996.
The Freight Hoppers — The album 'Waiting on the Gravy Train' was released in 1999, not 1998.
