So, a few of these dudes played on The Seeger Sessions and/or in the tour band.

The mandolin player is "the second best in the world behind Bela Fleck"

and I rent office space from the dude's brother. They are apparently pretty phenomenal for this type of music, and getting some good hype.

Check 'em out if you are so inclined.

FYI - "You Got The Silver" Stones Cover. This is really good for what it is. Not necessarily the first thing I reach for, but definitely enjoyable

Great band.

Except that Bela plays banjo...he might be a good Mando player as well, but he's known for banjo, and I can name 10 mando players currently probably better.

Their new record is fantastic. Been listening to it today. Don't want to make this post into a hyperbole to ridicule--but this could be their best one yet.

Just had Lone Pilgrim on repeat. Such a fantastic little tune. The cello solo in the middle is bee-yoo-tiful.
