More music like this?

Where can I find more music like this? "Epic bluegrass," maybe, for lack of a better term? Or perhaps there's a better name for this stuff. Other sound-alikes: some of the original music from Firefly (the long-mourned TV show) and this cue from the Annihilation film soundtrack.
Eagles - Journey of the Sorceror
Diego Stocco's "bassoforte" demo
Parts of the Bastion soundtrack are a lot like this; here's the theme (From Wharf to Wilds) as a sample.
You might also like Chris Thile's mandolin work, especially his covers of modern songs. For ex, here's his band Punch Brothers covering Radiohead - 2+2=5

Rhiannon Giddens's "Mountain Hymn" is worth hearing (instrumental version).
Maybe Billy Strings, "Home"?

Blue Highway's "Union Man" might fit the bill here.
But I feel like you might really enjoy "Annbjørg" by Hawktail. The melody is quite..."soaring," and very influenced by Nordic fiddle styles.

I don't know if you're mostly interested in instrumentals, but Dougie MacLean's I am Ready for the Storm has some of the same vibe for me.

The soundtrack to the video game Bastion might work.

Perhaps Surfing Medicine? "Ocean" just blows me away.

Recommendations from my son: Red Dead Redemption 2 Official Soundtrack - Blessed Are The Meek in particular, but give the whole soundtrack a shot. He also suggests Billy Strings's Meet Me at the Creek and Crooked Still's Ecstasy.

It reminds me of some of Nick Cave and Warren Ellis' soundtrack work.
