"There needs to be a term for this kind of music that’s been gaining such popularity so quickly. Mumford & Sons, The Avett Brothers, The Punch Brothers, Trampled By Turtles, and now The Lumineers. It’s like all of a sudden the public cares a little bit about bluegrass. But it’s not “true" bluegras..." [+] Reply

"M & D debut was very successful. Her second album is not as good as the first one but you can hear it :)" Reply
