I figured I would give this a spin and bring you the first performance of our 2008 Fall Season. We gather with a bunch of friends and have a pre-music potluck with the musicians, then the musicians play, then we usually have an ‘after pick’ as many of the guests are local grassers. I record all of these unamplified gatherings, and mike right up front. This is the first 4-track I’ve done with the HD-P2 and I’m excited to be doing more 4 track goodness as time goes on.

Swing State took the first half of the evening, followed by Finders and Youngberg. (The F&Y set will be posted later on.)

Swing state is made up of some Colorado All-Stars including:

• Greg Schochet Mandolin & Guitar (The Hi*Beams, Expedition, The All Night Honky Tonk All-Stars, Runaway Truck Ramp)
• Nancy Thorwardson Guitar & Lead Vocals (Blue Mountain Ranch Hands, gadzukes)
• Aaron Keim Bass (Boulder Acoustic Society, Flat Foot, Hudson Super Six)
• Bill Pontarelli Clarinet (Flexigrass, Deco Django)
