The Pine Beatles Live: The Snowstorm Sessions

If you find this performance to be pitchy, consider that it was recorded in a driving snowstorm, at 10,000 feet of elevation in Breckenridge Colorado. We've never had so much fun.

The River Walk Gig

We played a gig at the River Walk in Breckenridge. Here is my 9 year old nephew starting us off on "Red Haired Boy." We played bluegrass and blues for two hours and everyone involved had a good time.



Here is our second song "Blackberry Blossom." Fun stuff... I'm the guy in the white shirt and baseball hat playing my Martin D18GE.

"Wagon Wheel," Old Crow Medicine Show

Song: "Wagon Wheel"
Album: O.C.M.S.
Artist: Old Crow Medicine Show

Thanks to Dave for recommending this song. I'm a huge Bluegrass fan. I even played rhythm guitar in a bluegrass group last summer. I love the vocal performance on this. Like the song, it's unapologetically back woods. And, the harmonies are right on-- not trying to do too much but right where they should be.

In music, but in Bluegrass especially, there's a tendency for players to try to out play everyone on the planet. This is an example of how good a song can be if the band listens to each other, plays the song tight together and just lays down what's necessary and nothing more.

The O.C.M.S. web site is here. An interesting, short Wiki article about the history of the song is here.

Here's a you tube video:
