Punch Brother’s Play Bluegrass!!! It’s like a junior version of what is the House Band. There is SOOOOO MUCH TALENT in these bands, it’s just silly. Oh yeah, it would be nice to see Yonder how they were 5 years ago. But if it’s the new stuff…I think I might take a nap. Sorry, but there is something about putting distortion on a beautiful Colling’s acoustic guitar. It just ain’t my cup of tea.
