"The EWOB CDs are terrific. My last 2 shows have been dedicated to these CDs, and the response has been outstanding. I’ve had numerous people stop me on the street complimenting the shows and questioning me about the music. They were all amazed at the quality and diversity of bluegrass music in Europe."
