“🪕🎵Give it up for the BEST traditional bluegrass we have heard in a longggg time! Their eclectic sound, often being described as "Van Halen" in bluegrass form is sure to make your heart skip, your hands clap, and your feet tap as they merge together folk and some other genres to keep you engaged. They encompass everything that is our history in the coal region and then some! We are extremely grateful to this band and all its members for spreading their talent and love among our residents who packed into two rooms just to get a glimpse. What a wonderfully unique and energetic performance!👏 ❤️ Thank you for making a difference and spreading history through entertainment. We hope to see you again real soon! 🎻🎶 ” - Jess Marcolla
