SXSW - Some some good mandolin music

[TEvans]

Down here in Austin - Saw some really great mandolin music, and folk.

One of my favorite groups - Mandolin Orange
That's Andrew Marlin, one of my favorite pickers, playing his Kimble


And one of my NEW favorite groups, The Stray Birds.
This is Oliver Craven, an excellent multi-instrumentalist, playing a really cool Kimble. It's an F body with an A headstock. I liked it a lot.


Go check these two groups out! Really great music - and they are even better live. Catch em live, if you have the chance!

[Dave LaBoone]

Yes!! Both of these bands are fabulous! I'm jealous you got to see them both in the same day!

[Joey Anchors]

The Stray Birds are amazing!

[Joey Anchors]

TEvans you have to check out the mando player of Della Mae she has great tone and really good solos.

Yeah, Austin is a great mandolin town. We include Sarah Jarosz as on of our own among many others.
