Edgar and Chris have fun tonight with Gregor. He's the best Audio Janitor.
I'm so glad that John and NYC are getting hip to what's going on with the musicians coming out of the American acoustic bluegrass and blues tradition. It really is exciting. I was at Carnegie the other night. Thanks go not only to the musicians but our fellow audience members. I've never heard such a large crowd so silent during the performances and so appreciative in between. The few pieces with these guys and Mark O'Connor were...revelatory.
I got to see these guys at Carnegie Hall last night. It was amazing I thought I would check them out because I loved Appalachian Journey and student tickets were 10 buck. I was not ready for what I saw. Edgar is the Maestro and Chris is like a little kid having so much fun. Sorry to make you guys all jealous.
I saw them last night at the Lisner Auditorium in DC. Absolutely amazing! This show is not to be missed.
I really like Nickle Creek, so to hear this has been just as refreshing. I wish I could make it to Carnegie Hall tomorrow night!
that was insane
Thank you so much for bringing this incredible music to the air. I've had the pleasure of hearing Chris and Edgar several nights on this tour and each performance evolves into a completely unique experience. Go check them out tomorrow night at Carnegie Hall! You won't regret it.
