The would be an awesome afternoon set. I just found out about them this morning, and the guitarist is already one of my favorites.
There are numerous bands I would love to see play Telluride as well. Some are bluegrass, some are not. Telluride is about more than just bluegrass, its about enjoying music, both new and old. I have been exposed to some wonderful artists via Telluride. Many of whom I would likely have never heard or seen otherwise. Most of those bands fall in the category of “not bluegrass.” Acts like this have always be a part of Telluride. I’m sorry you didn’t enjoy the video I posted. Next time, though, keep your dislike to yourself rather than bringing up a two month old post just to make a negative comment.
They’re not bad! Not exactly my cup of tea, but totally within the (Telluride) bluegrass ballpark as far as I’m concerned … which has been typically been very open to “non-genre traditional conforming” as well as acts where are completely out of the ballpark for that matter.
While some musicians elect to stand up in suits and not have a drummer, it’s certainly not a requirement!
Can you say David Grisman? Joe Craven…? :cheers. I can see this as a great afternoon set at Telluride! Or Strawberry…of Hardly Strictly. If you don’t like music then don’t come to the Fest! I think there are a lot people looking for Tickets! :pirate
I really dig that guy’s music and even more, his style. He plays mandolin and banjo in the same manner (backwards, facing up on his lap), along with a dozen or so other instruments. He’s an incredibly talented and versatile musician. Here’s another of my favorite videos, this one is a with a different band though.
Holy goat can that play guitar!
