Nershi's playing on acoustic is so fucking crisp. Also remember long ago on the boards people wanting Kang to replace Boyd.

I've seen SCI seven times, and I've thoroughly enjoyed myself every time. The most recent was fall of 2018, and they were still bringing the heat. I fucking love that band. The vibes are always so great at their shows, and the musicianship is top notch. And, to your point about Kang/Boyd, the first time I heard SCI I remember thinking to myself "So, this is what an actual fiddle player sounds like." Imagine how good DMB would sound with Kang.

Hell yes, same here. I just finished repainting some of our inside house walls whilst listening to this band and it never for one second felt like work. Jammin the whole time...

I am really diggin Goose, most recently the 2021 performance.

Speaking of Billy Strings, he has an impromptu appearance with Tommy Emmanuel from a few years ago that was really fun. Plus that whole show is great, Tommy is one of a kind for sure

Watch the whole thing, but Billy hits at 30min.

[Fan#41]

Just watched that whole thing. Thanks for posting that. What a treat, his (Tommy's) tone and approach remind me a lot of Tim. Awesome stuff!

Billy Strings is incredibly talented. Not a huge bluegrass fan, it all sort of blends together for me eventually, but I respect the hell out of his ability and approach.

Throwing it on again right now for 834th time. This is the definition of crunchy.

My friend out in CO who formerly played guitar in Mister F has a new band called Squeaky Feet that has some awesome tunes. Unfortunately they were just ramping up and coming together in the ladder half of 2019 so the pandemic kind of slowed down some momentum. They've been releasing tunes though and were able to play a few socially distanced shows. Worth checking out, some serious chops. Definitely for fans of the more prog leaning style and jamming you'd see from UM or occasionally moe.

Goose - Ted Tapes 2021 (awesome jams from soundchecks and rehearsals) visualizer premiering now.

Haven't listened to Ted Tapes yet, but every which way you turn Goose is doing something sweet right now.

I wasn't sure if this belonged in here but I think it fits in a sense. "ChillHop" is an interesting genre as there are about a million creators, artists, DJ's, etc... making their own instrumental tracks and albums so I usually stick with comps that people put together. This one is so infectious. Working with this in the background as made this morning FLY by for me.

The Billy Strings 6 night run from the Capital was absolutely insane. So many dead covers, and last night's was over the top. He did a set 2 Dust in a Baggie -> Deal and Help on the Way -> Slipknot! -> Franklin's Tower -> Brokedown Palace, with a 15 min Meet Me at the Creek. It's up on nugs and may be available for replay on the Relix twitch site.

[Fan#41]

Sweet. I'll check it out tonight!
