Muleskinner Blues - Michael Daves Quartet in Central Park

Pickin’ in the wilds of Central Park with the quartet. The joggers and dog walkers were largely unimpressed but to be fair it’s NYC so bluegrass yodeling is probably only the seventh or eighth strangest thing they had encountered since leaving the house.
Michael Daves - guitar, vocals; Alex Hargreaves - fiddle; Jacob Jolliff - mandolin; and Erik Alvar - bass. Video by Manish Gosalia.
Join us for a NYC show on Wednesday 9/8/21 at Rockwood Music Hall featuring very special guest Tony Trischka. Tickets are still available here: www.seetickets.us/.../Michael...

This is indeed a professional bluegrass band

[@Cliftyman]

I grew up right down the road from Bill Monroe's homeplace in Rosine, KY. Spent many a night pickin. Yall do a great service and respect to this glorious tradition. Without a doubt these New York boys are doin it right...

[@Bokescreek]

I've long loved Monroe's version, but I think this one by Daves' group may be my new favorite. Thanks for posting.
