Impromtu video from Monroeville

And speaking of Monroeville…

The guys have released a live video highlighting their newest member, Eli Johnston. In so doing, they also demonstrate that fears about the future of traditional bluegrass music are both ignorant and unfounded.

These six talented young men, barely out of their teens, lay down a solid version of a song recorded by Flatt & Scruggs before the Monroeville parents collective were born. True, their arrangement owes as much to the Bluegrass Album Band of the 1980s as it does Lester and Earl from the 1950s, but I guess that is still “the old days” for these youngsters.

As the kids say… Son!
