Michael Daves and Jacob Jolliff—two of America’s premier bluegrass talents—have joined forces to create a formidable duo defined by high-lonesome harmonies and fiery flatpicking. Their sound is a masterclass in the classic guitar-mandolin "brother duet," yet it leaves expansive room for modern improvisation and inspired musical "left turns." Together, they effortlessly straddle the line between hardcore traditional bluegrass and experimental forms. The duo’s chemistry is prominently featured on Daves’ newest EP, Fables (https://michaeldaves1.bandcamp.com/album/fables), a bluegrass reimagining of R.E.M.’s Fables of the Reconstruction.More about Michael Daves - http://michaeldaves.com/
