Honestly, how many times do you get to spend a weekend in the presence of musicians who are considered to be the best in the whole wide world at their instruments? Wintergrass was one of weekends. We were completely prepared to be blown away by young prodigies like Chris Thile and the Infamous Stringdusters. We were expecting the brilliant presence of artists like Darrell Scott and Doyle Lawson. What shocked the hell out of us was Mike Marshall and Hamilton de Holanda.

MUSIC: Tim O'Brien, Jerry Douglas, Chris Thile & How to Grow a Band, Darrel Scott Band, Doyle Lawson and Quicksilver, Uncle Earl, and many more at Wintergrass. Wintergrass is one of the biggest bluegrass festivals in the country, and this is one of the best line-ups they've had in some time. It's worth it to go see all the bands, or just to hang out in the lobby and jam out all weekend for free.

We used to be with the rest of our snobby generation: thinking bluegrass festivals were for our grandparents, sitting on their lawn chairs with their farmer tans blaring and their bad old-people dancing. But no more, nosirree. Not when there are hotties like the Infamous Stringdusters, the Greencards, and Chris Thile pouring into Tacoma, of all godforsaken places, this weekend for Wintergrass
