Perfectly delightful Friday night with the Mrs. in beautiful downtown Raleigh, NC. Please enjoy this very good capture of a warm and generous
performance by a band I've been anxious to see for a long time. Thank you again to my Mrs. for our great Mystery Date.. you certainly came up
with a good one this time hon !

We saw Rhiannon perform outdoors with the NC Symphony last summer and were stunned by her classical vocal chops that night. Tonight
we got many more styles and layers, and then you add the musical virtuousity and quick wit into the mix.... wow, what a remarkable talent.
Dom, Hubby, and Leyla all contribute mightily to this outstanding performance as well. Just a really fun night before the hometown crowd.

If you've seen the band, you know that there is a story between each tune, and I've tried to edit the tracks accordingly. Thanks to the band for
dragging these songs around G-od's Green Earth to share with everyone else... PS.. I would love to play my egg with y'all on Rose Marie sometime...


The players :

Rhiannon Giddens, violin, Banjo, and Vocals
Dom Flemons, Banjo, Guitar, Bones and Vocals
Hubby Jenkins, Banjo, Mandolin, and Vocals
Leyla McCalla, Cello, Banjo, and Vocals
