I looked 'em up Coz... they seem to have a pretty decent schedule. Love the hats!  ;D

Here's their Chicago Style Bluegrass take on "Minor Swing"-


OK, I was at another computer & checked your link.
The hats are now black, and they've changed bassists at least once (they go through bassists like Spinal Tap does drummers - though no spontaneous cumbustion that I'm aware of); current one is considerably shorter & much more female than that one.
He was a grad student from Czechoslovakia; I mentioned his bass in another thread.  Turn it around & you'll see the most dramatic tiger-stripe I've ever seen.
As a point of interest, I learned the other night (the guitarist busted a wire & was really slow changing it) that the first bassist was also distaff; bought her bass from a jazz cat who played it at Harry Truman's nomination party, so she called it "Truman" - the name evolved from that.

Just heard the title cut from Dan Tyminski's new project- "Southern Gothic"...



It's much darker than I expected... sounds like he's definitely testing some new waters here while the Boss-Lady is taking a little Classic Country sabbatical.  ;D

Also, by pure chance, I happened upon Lilly Hiatt playing at The Evening Muze in Charlotte last month, and have been listening to her new material.

If you like King Crimsom, here's another goodie from the '80s...Elephant Talk




edwardofhuncote

Thanks Rob. My roommate back in the late 80's listened to that whole album, daily. "Elephant Talk" was his favorite cut.   8)

His prog-rock library and my newgrass counterpoint made for quite the clash... good times.   :)

Nice, Rob!  I wish those guys would get back together sometime.

Different post...as this is what I don't want to be listening to now - Any music with drum tracks rather than real person actually playing drums (yes I know I am supporting drummers here, and I apologize).  Tonight, I sat in a restaurant for 2.5 hours with colleagues of mine from Kharkiv, Ukraine.  I swear the same drum track played for the full 2.5 hours.  My breaking point was when I heard the same 4/4 drum track being used for someone's version of Dave Brubeck's "Take Five."

Back a few decades ago when I lived in Charlotte, there was a local band there that had keyboards, guitar, drums, vocals, but the bass lines were prerecorded.  I never went to see them; I didn't see the point.

Robert Glasper Trio - Stella by Starlight

Wow. I had not heard of Glasper prior to this. Very tasteful. I'll need to listen to him some more.
