saturn Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 As I stated in an earlier thread, I attended Delfest this weekend. It's named for the great Del McCoury, who played many times at the fest. I unfortunately (very unfortunately) had to miss Government Mule. But some of the other big names I got to see were Trey Anastasio, Bella Fleck, Railroad Earth and Dierks Bently. Plus there were countless other artists I hadn't heard of. They were all unbelievably awesome! It was stringed instrument heaven. Guitar, banjo, bass, mandolin... my god I saw more "pickin" in one place than ever before. Every single artists I saw made my jaw drop. Two of the acts I hadn't heard of, but will be following more in the future, were Cris Jacobs band (he's from Maryland so I should have heard of him) and appropriately named Billy . Strings! Here they are jamming together during Billy Strings set yesterday. I didn't take this footage, but was right there. Not shown in this footage is Cris Jacobs' monster bass player! This guy was something else. Check them out more if you get a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub-T-123 Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Looks like it was a great time Saturn. That's not really my style of music but those guys are shredding it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

surfpup Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Love it! Flatpicking is how I plan to spend my old age. After I retire and have time to really tackle it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saturn Posted May 30, 2017 Author Share Posted May 30, 2017 Looks like it was a great time Saturn. That's not really my style of music but those guys are shredding it up. Yeah. I can't say I listen to bluegrass music much. I went from seeing Metallica a few weeks ago, to this! I just went for the experience and to get away a little while. We had to rough-it a little, but did have some comforts. It's nice not having to worry about driving once you arrive. Our Fort Some home-brew and other goodies. B) Here's some more of Cris Jacobs. If nothing else, at least watch at around 3:25 and dig this bass player! BTW, whoever posted this footage misspelled Cris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerad12 Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 That's some good stuff there! It's great to see up and coming artists honing their craft. That cigar box slide work was pretty cool too. Looks like they were having a helluva time, hope ya'll did to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
