Sierra Hull, anyone heard her yet? Mandolin at its best.
Got a good tip from my Local Welders' Supply, guy who loves the same music I do. Sierra Hull, mandolin player extraordinaire. She started out learning with Alison Kraus and Union Station, not bad for a 16 year old, Cluck Old Hen.
and then progressed on to some more non-traditional stuff. She sort of reminds me of Bela Fleck and how he transitioned from the traditional bluegrass banjo to a different genre.
She's a prodigy, and as far as I know one of if not the only bluegrass musician to get a scholarship to Berklee.

She can play. Let's see how she is in four or five years.

The guy on the double bass was not bad, either.

The man on guitar (next to the banjo) is Dan Tyminski. He was highlighted on NPR last week. It is said that Alison Krauss always leaves room for him to showcase his singing. He also did some of the singing for the movie "O Brother, Where art Thou?"

Dan is my favorite male bluegrass singer. He carries off the tenor twang without the "high lonesome" whiny sound of Bill Monroe and others. His voice is distinctive to the point I can pick it out without video accompaniment.
