Last month we had Nashville fiddle duo 10 STRING SYMPHONY at The Mint for our first official Bluegrass Situation Presents show. Check out these two incredible talents and see what happened behind the scenes in our latest SOUNDCHECK video…

If there’s a living king and crown prince of bluegrass, it’s Del McCoury and Sam Bush.  And we here at The Sitch are simply over the moon to have spent time in their royal presence at The Birchmere Theatre in Alexandria, Virginia this November, just as they were warming up for the first night of their unprecedented duo tour.
And speaking of unprecedented, just wait ’til you get to 2:25.  We won’t spoil what happens, suffice it to say….. well.  Just watch.
As if one video with GREENSKY BLUEGRASS wasn’t enough… WE’VE GOT ANOTHER. Because these guys were just too much fun to fit into one segment…
If you missed their last show and want to experience Greensky in person (which you totally should), the band returns to LA this March at The Troubadour. You can learn more about them and all other upcoming tour dates via their website greenskybluegrass.com.
Our recent SOUNDCHECK session with Joy Kills Sorrow was so great, we couldn’t just leave you with one video. So instead we’re bringing you THREE extra glimpses of the band as they readied for their show at the Bootleg Bar in Los Angeles. Enjoy.

A few months ago, The Farewell Drifters ventured west, beyond their homes in Nashville, Tennessee, for a Pacific coast tour, eventually ending up in Santa Monica to play McCabes Guitar Shop. A few weeks ago, Zach, Josh, Clayton and Dean headed even further west to play…. JAPAN.
Frontman Zach Bevill sent us this dispatch from Tokyo…
‘We are just wrapping up our time in Japan, and it has been nothing short of amazing. We spent the first few days in Tokyo where we played an event with a local Japanese bluegrass band, and also had a performance that was more educational in nature at the Tokyo College of Music. Then we spent an entire week in the small town of Yawata where we visited several schools and performed at the city hall. Everyone here really loves our music, and has treated us royally. The Japanese people are the kindest and most generous people we have ever met, and it has been an honor to share our music with them.’
During their LA stopover last month, The Sitch was able to capture The Farewell Drifters in action as they prepared for their show, as you’ll see in our latest episode of SOUNDCHECK…

Well readers, are you ready for something brand new from The Sitch?? Good. Cause we’ve got an exclusive new video series just for you called SOUNDCHECK.
The title pretty much says it all. When bands come to town, we hang out with them during their soundcheck at various venues throughout LA and see the musicians in action, as well as talk to them about life on the road (and anything else they want to discuss).
First up in the series is a behind-the-scenes peek at our good friends JOY KILLS SORROW (you may remember them as our recent Artist of the Month)…. take a look!
Stay tuned next week for video extras from our session with Joy Kills Sorrow, and find out more about the band and their upcoming shows at http://www.joykillssorrow.com/
