I saw that show at the Lucas Theater in Savannah in March of this year. All the same lineup except it was Stuart Duncan on fiddle. You’ll be blown away! It was the most incredible display of complex musicianship I’ve seen.
What are y'all up to?

It blows me away just watching videos, I can’t imagine seeing it live.

No, Kentucky Thunder isn’t the most complex musicianship I’ve seen - just the most classic, fast, perfect, and mind blowing.

May have a new challenge on the horizon. Playing in the Key of E. Standard G tuning 5th String tuned down to E
Just received this week’s TAB from Josh at Brainjo ‘Dirty Old Town in the Key of E’ a folk classic written by British songwriter Ewan MacColl
Not a breakneck bluegrass tune, it’s more a kinda lazy laid back, an example of how great the banjo sounds when played slow and easy,

Here’s my brother Ben’s newest “homemade” song.
Jesus’ Love Is Real!
Hopefully it will be a blessing to somebody!

Great song! Do y’all write a lot of originals?
Funny question probably… But - why don’t you move the pulpit to the side of the stage? We do when we play churches, and that’s one thing that always kinda bugs me from videos of bands playing in churches. It blocks my view of the pickers’ fingers! Of course this video is good because it’s a side view.

My siblings do!
I haven’t had the privilege of writing anything more than tunes so far haha
Sometimes we do move the pulpit. That was a Sunday morning and my dad was about to preach behind it😂

@CalebEllis I think you guys play more special music for churches rather than like full dedicated shows right?
I saw a vid of y’all picking at the camp meeting, that was great. Hope you guys are having a great time and praying for God’s blessing on the efforts.
I’m not sure whether to tell you to say hi to the people from my church or vice versa

Yes. We do a few shows every year and a couple Bg festivals but mostly churches.

I’m working on that (trying to sing + play!)
I think @BanJoe is as well, & probably several others… so you’re not alone in that scary world!

I have a simple solution, I just stay out of that scary world by never singing with or without an instrument…
