BackCountry at the North Platte Bluegrass Festival

Hi Everyone,

This past weekend we had the opportunity to play two sets at the North Platte Bluegrass Festival in North Platte, NE. We also got to lead a workshop on the fundamentals of forming and playing in a band. So lots of fun at a great festival. We also had the opportunity to do a lot of jamming and pickin'. Below are a few photos of the weekend. Enjoy!

Thanks for keeping up with us and we hope to see you at one of our upcoming performances (see schedule on the right).
