sloppy (in looks) rude bluegrass rockin’ country, mandolins/harmonicas/accordians (TMBG sound)/guitars/drums/dobro, 5 dirty guys chain-smoking and obviously having a great time, waited 2 hours to hear my song but was not much pain at all, want to live with them for a day

5 guys with 2 guitars, 1 fiddle, 1 banjo and 1 massive bass, LOVED them, individually tight and fluid together, bluesgrass jam band that strayed into funk and “Friend of the Devil,” could have had more interplay on the stage with each other

two old guys on electric bass guitars, one hip-hop drummer, technically excellent but hate the electric guitar jazz sound
