This group of musicians is deceptive in its appearance of youth. They actually have over 20 years of experience, playing BG together since high school in Virginia. They are part of the “new grass” movement: younger musicians bringing something fresh to the contemporary BG market. I liked: 1, 2, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11.
