Man, I can never understand why after so many years of bluegrass festivals and performances, we can never figure out how to turn up the guitar player during their breaks. Negativity aside, amazing talent here.
Samantha's fiddle solo though! Holy shit. A really good singer but that violin is gold in her hands. Awesome to see real music being taken so seriously still.
Look at how they're dressed. No torn jeans, dirty t-shirts, dirty hair hanging all over. These kids know how to look, sound, and be, professional. Thank you for giving dignity to country/bluegrass music. Too bad the soundperson was asleep, but they still did a fine job. You done us proud youngin's. Thanks for being keepers of the flame.
I wish whoever does the sound would take the time to get it right. The banjo, which is a resonator instrument normally doesn't need that much of a mic but this time it needed to be turned up as did the guitar. They are all very talented and I do not hold them responsible for the lousy sound.
If I was the audio engineer I would have been horribly embarrassed! Clearly the audio person was not paying attention, or even present so maybe embarrassment isn't even a care. Brandy and Cory got a great injustice. And this was televised?? Sad.
You won't find these kids out back selling or smoking dope drinking. They'll be out front leading the way. You are blessed kids. Good job. Lots of love from North Dakota.
The future of bluegrass is in good hands. It is unfortunate that the sound engineer did not bring up each individual musicians microphone for their solos.
i was about to post the same thing. you could hear enough to know there was some great picking going on.......but all of the breaks were woefully under-mic'ed. i'm guessing all of those kids will be making their mark in the world of bluegrass. best of luck to them.
Korey Brodsky (guitar, 14 years old, Connecticut) Jacob Burleson (mandolin, 14 years old, North Carolina) Michael Kilby (Dobro, 15 years old, British Columbia, Canada) Jimmy Meyer (bass, 14 years old, Missouri) Brandy Miller (banjo, 15 years old, North Carolina) Grant Rigney (fiddle, 16 years old, Tennessee) Samantha Snyder (fiddle, 14 years old, North Carolina)
He now plays with a hot band out of Seattle called North country. I recently saw them live, great band, great rapport with the crowd too! Plus he plays fiddle and mando too.
I was fascinated by the size of the instrument as a small child. But as a ;piano and sax player, hanging out with a bunch of guitar players, bass was a natural pick. An economic decision...law of supply and demand. At a festival, a bassist asked if I could put his bass in my tent, and I told him only of he would show me how to play it. I already knew chord progressions, and it was an hour later and I was the second best bass player there..there were now only two. I had a series of basses, and now I have an all carved Eastman that is too pretty to drag outside
I wish more young people were interested in traditional music such as these young folks.

your parents must be proud.such a fine group of clean cut talent.

I couldn't agree more!

I'm glad kids are keeping bluegrass alive
greetings from italian bluegrass fan...
You won't find these kids out back selling or smoking dope drinking. They'll be out front leading the way. You are blessed kids. Good job. Lots of love from North Dakota.
But dope and drinking is really awesome and cool and it's a big part of bluegrass and country music

Ill say it agin........how does a kid get interested in learning how to play a double bass????.......lol
I was fascinated by the size of the instrument as a small child. But as a ;piano and sax player, hanging out with a bunch of guitar players, bass was a natural pick. An economic decision...law of supply and demand. At a festival, a bassist asked if I could put his bass in my tent, and I told him only of he would show me how to play it.

I had a series of basses, and now I have an all carved Eastman that is too pretty to drag outside
and the fiddle player waers a really bad suit....lol.....but plays great!!!!
Very poor miking. I couldn't hear the guitar solo at all.
Get a new sound guy. Nothing like showcasing talent you can’t hear. Lol
Great young players BUT....
.... terrible sound levels.
