Just saw them in concert last night in Helena, Mt. in a small venue (seats 200). I didn't know much about the band, other than a couple of you tube videos. They were billed as a bluegrass band, but I didn't hear much BG music. They were all very good musicians and they played some New Grass, jazzy tunes and some bluesy stuff. My complaint was with the sound, way too LOUD for such a small place and that they had all their instruments were plugged in. Even the banjo was plugged in. They ran them all though pedals for reverb and wah wah. Their playing as I said was superb and the band was tight, but I had to take my hearing aids out and it was still way too loud. I blame the sound guy, he should have turned it down a little. I won't go to another concert unless I know it will be totally acoustic. Please don't take this as a jab at the band, it just wasn't the kind of music I was expecting.
