Some Good Ol’ Pickin’ In Williamsburg
Last night, I had the privilege of catching two of the best bluegrass bands around together on one bill. Railroad Earth and the Infamous Stringdusters took Brooklyn by storm last night, turning the Music Hall of Williamsburg into one giant hoedown. The Stringdusters kicked the night off, playing for roughly an hour (their van broke down en route to the venue, delaying the evening). Highlights included “Steam Powered Airplane” and the classic “Deep Elem Blues.”
Railroad Earth took the stage around 10:30pm. If you haven’t heard these guys, check them out. You will not be disappointed. They had the small crowd (maybe 200 in attendance tops — kid you not!) dancing all night. “Might River” and “Bread And Water” stand out as the highlight of the first set. After a brief intermission, they returned for a second set with favorites including “Like A Buddha,” and “Peace On Earth.” They ended the night a little after 1:00AM with “Moonshiner.”
Here are a few videos I managed to capture. I was told a few times that video recording was not allowed, so I had to act stealth. Enjoy!
