Dry Branch Fire Squad

• Brian Aldridge: acoustic guitar, mandolin, lead and harmony vox;
• Tom Boyd: banjo, resonator guitar, lead and harmony vox;
• Dan Russell: contrabass, banjo, acoustic guitar, lead and harmony vox;
• Ron Thomason: mandolin, acoustic guitar, lead and harmony vox.

Always fun to catch the Dry Branch Fire Squad, and a short festival set is just the right portion for me of Ron's dry wit and the bracing mix of hardcore bluegrass with charismatic gospel. They're a great choice to lead off the day, but a little of it goes a long way!
