Bluegrass music was born in Appalachia, far from Boston where the founders of The Infamous Stringdusters first got together. Many of the genre’s original players and adherents weren’t professionally educated in music, either – if they were educated at all. The Stringdusters were, but don’t let their skill with their instruments or their professionalism fool you – they are keeping bluegrass alive in the best of ways, paying homage to the past while moving the music into the 21st century. This Bowery Ballroom show was a homecoming for some of the band members who call New York home, and it felt like one, with the band members relaxed but on point as they delivered a nearly two and a half hour set of material from their latest record, Silver Sky, as well as wide-ranging covers that included the Police’s “Walking On the Moon” (covered on Silver Sky) and Pink Floyd’s “Fearless” as well as classic blues and country standards. I had not seen the Stringdusters live before and was kicking myself for taking this long. An evening with these guys makes for an outstanding evening of music.

I recorded this set with MBHO KA500N hypercardiod microphones from the balcony. Fortunately, hi and lo was with me to provide a second source to patch about 7 minutes of the set that were missed when I had an equipment problem.  The sound quality is excellent. Enjoy!
