    Good article. More depth to the background than I would have expected. This music and energy is exciting, and I hope to hear more of it, as in another record (CD). It would be great to see Chris and Michael at Strawberry Music festival!!!! (Hint)

    Great article. Well done. Talking about music can often stray into meaningless fan boy yakking. Not this time.
    A talent for trivializin' the momentous and complicatin' the obvious.

    The entire staff
    funny....

    Thanks, Jeff. I AM a fan boy at heart, so I have to work to tone it down. They're interesting guys, though, with lot's to say, so that helps.

    I watched some vidoes of this duo last night and they are very fun to watch and listen to.

    The boys haven't had time to play a lot of gigs together recently - what with Thile crazy busy with the new radio show, and Daves staying close to home in Brooklyn. But they did have a show a few months back in Brooklyn. Loose, but super fun. And I shot video and recorded audio for Daves, so I imagine that we'll eventually release a couple from that show.

    Perhaps they have some shows together this Summer?

    Edit: Also, it's been so long since I've read this one. I've forgotten a lot myself. Like having Thile make me a cocktail before we started. Watching him use an ice pick inches from his left hand is a moment I won't forget. And this explanation where Thile addressed the 'why' of this duo:

    He says that playing some of those traditional songs had started to feel insincere to him. Like that's not really who he is right now. "I'm from Southern California and grew up idolizing Edgar Meyer and Bela Fleck, Tim O'Brien. But when the two of us played these bluegrass standards it gave all that music back to me. It no longer felt like I was playing a part. It's a legitimate expression of the musician that I am, when I'm playing with him."
