Natalie MacMaster
Grey Fox Bluegrass Festival
Rothvoss Farm
Ancramdale, NY
July 15, 2004
Natalie is a fiddle player from Nova Scotia Canada. Her Celtic heritage is apparent in her style. She amazed us at the festival, and has begun to gain much deserved notoriety.
There are 12 tracks and they all fit on a single CD.Once again, I am not real familiar with her music and do not have a song-list. Sorry.
This is the seventh of eight shows I have to share with y'all that Me and my buddy taped at the Greyfox Bluegrass Festival in 2004 and 2006 (ok, he taped, I carried the beer and packed the pipe). (sorry, one was cancelled because I found it on Internet Archive) We taped acts from Earl Scruggs to Steve Earle (heh, heh, pretty good one, no?). And many more. The setup at the festival was sitting up on a hill, looking down onto the stage. Both years we were next to the soundboard, so about even with the speakers, 2/3 of the way up the hill. Given the stillness of the warm summer nights (except when it rained, or the day sets), and their exceptional sound crew, the sound is amazing, I can safely brag they are near soundboard quality. (Also my buddy's nice DAT deck and his very good mikes helped a bit) (sorry, don't know what they are). I will offer samples for you all to hear for yourselves.
I hope you all enjoy these. They were taped with love and beer and... Listen, enjoy, disseminate. MP3s? Not a problem.
