... Review ...


"European bluegrass has evolved to the point that the music’s traditional roots have been embraced, and branches have now inspired songs… capturing uniquely original and personal feelings from Europe. It’s especially gratifying to see that Europe’s best can hold their own alongside their American counterparts."
- Joe Ross online review 10 YEARS OF EWOB double CD
