Like your contemporary voice & instrument bluegrass style from this concert at the lakefront in Milwaukee. I thought the lakefront transition from day to night was a great setting for this concert with the people on the boats, clear water, & part of the Downtown Milwaukee Skyline with audience participation in the background. Like the long time bluegrass concerts such as this one because you can get deeper into different styles of music which this band does real good here using neutral earth type tones doing: original acoustic folk americana country jamband jamgrass newgrass styles. I also recently purchased their latest album "What Moves Mountains" from "Bandcamp."
