Once again I had the privilege of capturing the intimate and free-wheeling holiday shows of this six-man musical juggernaut at Club Passim in Cambridge. It’s truly a joy to watch a group of superlative musicians who are so comfortable with their abilities and each other as they perform a dazzling variety of original compositions, folk and country classics, and the odd cover of Prince and Captain Beefheart.
