missy raines & the new hip has the right recipe:
Start with bluegrass virtuosity. Add in a jazz-tinged groove and a song-driven sensibility. Dish it up with a hot band of young players. Here's a group that moves easily from fun, funky instrumentals to sophisticated songs of longing and hope.
She may be a 7 time International Bluegrass Music Association's Bass Player of the Year, but Missy colors far outside the [snip] lines of the style she started out in. With the New Hip she leads a group of fearless, gifted players who are at ease in almost any genre. Together they are reshaping the acoustic landscape.
Joining Missy are young lions like Michael Witcher (resonator guitar and lap steel),
Ethan Ballinger (acoustic and electric guitar) Dominick Leslie (mandolin) and Rob Crawford (drums) who have the chops to travel the challenging territory Missy has mapped out like it's a walk in the park.
Time to dust off the old superlatives: missy raines & the the new hip *is* new, hip and fresh.

Stopping by to show some love! So I will be doing fittings this week in Nashville!! Hit me up today if you are interested in talking biz on in-ears, custom plugs, etc.
Just received my copy of Inside Out yesterday, and it's AWESOME! I love all the songs, but if I had to choose, my top choices would be "Magnolia" and "Stop, Drop & Wiggle". Love it , love it, love it!!
I love this band---anybody who lists Ron Carter, Shelby Lynn and Ed Snodderly as influences has my attention and respect---and Damn, the musicianship!! Thanks for the add.
"Ticklin' The Strings" by Sweet Hollywaiians
Amazing Japanese hot string band playing 1920's, 30's, 40's style hawaiian, swing, calypso, blues, italian music and originals,featuring vintage instruments.3 songs with Robert Armstrong and Tony Marcus(from Robert Crumb and His Cheap Suit Serenaders)
"The Sweet Hollywaiians have probably the best feel for this 20's music of any string band working today. They manage the rare feat of sounding relaxed even when their playing is hot, are top notch musicians with tasteful arrangements and a full, rich, warm sound.Plus, they have a nice gamut of tunes, from King Nawahi to Giovanni Vicari to Bobby Leecan. See them live, if you can, for an unforgettable experience. If you can't, buy their Cds!" ~ Terry Zwigoff
