The Bluegrass Situation (HERE) premiers a video that I produced. It was a free webcast with some of NYC's best bluegrass players supporting Michael Daves's Kickstarter.
"He's joined by singer Jen Larson, guitarist Chris "Critter" Eldridge, banjo legend Tony Trischka, Sarah Jarosz on mandolin, Alex Hargreaves and Mike Barnett on twin fiddles, and Larry Cook on bass."
Besides shameless promotion of my work, I think this is an ideal example of a topic that comes up all the time here at the Cafe, how to work a bluegrass band around a single microphone. This is a casual pick-up band with little rehearsal time. Watch Daves cue the players 'on deck' and the way Sarah Jarosz gets right up on that microphone and out of the way when the singers move in. These guys and gals are the best!
