Hey All! It's been too long!!! I've decided to make my return to blogging by giving some sweet links to the recordings from the 12th Annual Bozeman Bluegrass Festival!
The festival has always been a one day event with a couple of national acts but was expanded to two days of exceptional acts hitting the stage at the Emerson Center.
There were only two, well actually three acts in the Crawford Theater on 11/10/18 the second night of the festival. The evening started out with the sweet americana sounds of Dead Horses. Dead Horses hail from the great state of Wisconsin and have been touring as a duo but occasionally have other musicians sit in with them in the midwest. Singer/Songwriter and guitarist Sarah Vos and bassist Daniel Wolff make up the core.
Their website can be found at:
Here is a link to my audience recording of their set.
The second act on the stage on that beautiful evening of music were The Travelin' McCourys. A couple of these fellas are the sons of bluegrass legend Del McCoury. They threw down an amazing nine songs from their own catalog and then were joined by the one and only Peter Rowan. Peter Rowan was one of the Bluegrass Boys that played with one of the godfathers of bluegrass, the one and only Bill Monroe. Peter was also a founding member of Old and In The Way, which included other music legends Jerry Garcia and David "Dawg" Grisman.
Here is a link to my audience recording of The Travelin' McCourys. Peter Rowan joins in on track 10 where they play a special Bill Monroe set with a couple of Old and In The Way and Rowan solo tunes at the end of the set.
There were many other acts that played the festival that are all amazing, some being local to Bozeman and others just in for the festival. Here are the links to those other shows I managed to tape.
