Two sets of old-school bluegrass music
at the Good Coffeehouse Music Parlor
Bluegrass Unlimited magazine writes: “…delightfully unadorned 1950s-style bluegrass that draws heavily on, yet doesn’t mimic, the best-loved bands of that era.” Sing Out magazine: “…tight instrumental excellence and hard-edged vocals …uncompromising, hard-core bluegrass…”
