The would be an awesome afternoon set.  I just found out about them this morning, and the guitarist is already one of my favorites.

There are numerous bands I would love to see play Telluride as well.  Some are bluegrass, some are not.  Telluride is about more than just bluegrass, its about enjoying music, both new and old.  I have been exposed to some wonderful artists via Telluride.  Many of whom I would likely have never heard or seen otherwise.  Most of those bands fall in the category of "not bluegrass."  Acts like this have always be a part of Telluride.  I'm sorry you didn't enjoy the video I posted.  Next time, though, keep your dislike to yourself rather than bringing up a two month old post just to make a negative comment.

They're not bad!  Not exactly my cup of tea, but totally within the (Telluride) bluegrass ballpark as far as I'm concerned ... which has been typically been very open to "non-genre traditional conforming" as well as acts where are completely out of the ballpark for that matter.

While some musicians elect to stand up in suits and not have a drummer, it's certainly not a requirement!

Can you say David Grisman? Joe Craven.....?  . I can see this as a great afternoon set at Telluride! Or Strawberry...of Hardly Strictly. If you don't like music then don't come to the Fest! I think there are a lot people looking for Tickets!

I really dig that guy's music and even more, his style.  He plays mandolin and banjo in the same manner (backwards, facing up on his lap), along with a dozen or so other instruments.  He's an incredibly talented and versatile musician.  Here's another of my favorite videos, this one is a with a different band though.
