Infamous Stringdusters

I kind of kicked off my year with the Infamous Stringdusters, as they played the first major annual folk event out here on the west coast: the Wintergrass bluegrass music festival in Tacoma, Wash. Their performances were as stellar there as they were toward the end of this year in Nashville at the IBMA Awards. There, they took home every award for which they were nominated. I guess I'm not alone in considering them one of the best new folk artists of the year.
