I am new to the live plugged in acoustic stuff. I’ve been running my d28 through a Fishman platinum preamp and straight into our xr18 mixer for our first few gigs.
Sound is okay, but wondering do you all run an amp in between your preamps and mixers?
Any advice is greatly appreciated! Thanks
I will be in the area for a few weeks over Xmas/New Year. I would like to check out a BGJ if there are any in the area. Thanks!
Anyone else play multiple instruments and struggle to stay current with them? Especially the fiddle which requires a whole other level of skill. I dabble with the guitar, bass, mandolin and fiddle. Lately have been playing the guitar.
Looking for some people to play with. I play electric bass and surprisingly it’s been hard to find people to jam with. Any help would be appreciated
Been listening to alot of david grismans work with his jazzy bluegrass combo and its amazing and now I have the itch for more. I prefer songs that aren't instrumentals i was wondering if anyone knew of any artist that did that jazzgrass with lyrics. Spotify isn't too helpful lmao
Howdy folks, I shared this with the mandolin sub, but figured there might be some interested folks here as well.
About a month ago, David Benedict released a video listing 30 kickoffs that every mandolin player should know. I decided to transcribe them as a challenge. Check them out here:

Most are at the top chronologically, but a few you'll have to search for. Enjoy!

Came here to five Suits to see these guys
Anyone need a bluegrass rhythm guitar player?
For another week you can listen to Alex Leach's WDVX.com Saturday Morning Rize & Shine from last weekend featuring a whole lot of Dr. Ralph Stanley live celebrating 50 years of Stanley music with Clinch Mountain Boys from throughout the years. Alex's programming is always worth a listen, but my oh my- this one is pure brilliance. WDVX's archives are active for two weeks from original broadcast, so you have until Dec. 5 or thereabouts to find it. Worth the time, I do suggest. Donald
I have an opportunity to see a bluegrass group tonight called My Brothers Keeper.
Website: https://mybrotherskeeperband.com/home
They describe themselves as "progressive bluegrass" and drawing from multiple influences, and since I am a Billy Strings fan, I figured this might scratch the itch.
I have never heard of them and know only what they are and that there's 3 brothers in the band other than the upright bass player.
Thoughts?
