Saline Fiddlers 18th annual Winter Hometown Concert with guest artist from Austin, Texas MilkDrive.
MilkDrive, the Austin alt-folk-progressive acoustic string band, released its debut studio album in April 2011, ROAD FROM HOME, produced in Nashville by Bil VornDick (Alison Krauss, Bela Fleck, Bob Dylan, Ralph Stanley). Awards are a great measure of technical prowess, but they reveal nothing about the musical soul so palpable in MilkDrive’s music, the quartet’s sound a textural, multi-layer mix of rhythms, tempos, flavors, harmonies, improvisation – and the confidence each possesses that comes from experience with an instrument (or instruments). http://milkdrive.com/
