the Yonder Mountain String Band
Just check out the video. 4 guys + 4 stringed instruments= hours of bluegrass entertainment.
The Orange Peel in Asheville was hosting the Yonder Mountain String Band for two nights and Kristen wanted to go see them for her birthday. Unfortunately the Friday night concert sold our, so we traveled up Thursday evening after work. It made for a long night, and we were both pretty tired on Friday, but the concert was well worth it. Those guys can play.
joshua james, part II
The first time we saw him was at the The Hotel Cafe in L.A. with a good crowd of people.
Part II was quite different. He came to the Handlebar in Greenville which could easily hold as many, if not more than the Hotel Cafe, but that’s assuming as many people in South Carolina know who Joshua James is as in California.
Well, they don’t. He played before a crowd of maybe 20 people. Yes. twenty.
Once on stage he said, “We are few tonight… but mighty, I guess”.
No matter the crowd size though, he still played, and he played with a passion that we’ve come to expect from him. and nothing less.
He believes what he sings and is deeply affected by it. All those who came witnessed a true performer.
We can’t wait to see him again. Until next time…
