      @@JeffLedson These guys were meant to play together. A+ musicians and singers. IMO, this group with the right breaks and promotion should be a nationally recognized act . They are just as good as Billy Strings and Molly Tuttles bands, have a far more original unique sound and stage presence. Suggestion: Dress them up in bluegrass/western attire . Check out the Kody Norris show. Decent musically (nothing Special) but they are going places because people take notice of their fancy Western dress and stage appearance. BCB can do it too.

    This group is a very different and unique sounding bluegrass band with shades of jazz thrown in. Not my favorite number that they play but the talent still shines through. How did they get together and where did they find young Mei Lin who IMO is a wonderful creative musician. She hardly ever just taps the strings with her violin bow always preferring to add little fill ins to every song. Great group.

    I believe that a dobro addition to this song when they record it would add the extra element. Mei Lin at age 18 is really contributing and doing her part well, a true prodigy. This is by far the most unique sounding band in all of bluegrass. One day this young group should do a video about how they all got together and formed Broken Compass. I would guess Kyle Ledson had something to do with that.

  • @dlagrua

    Great to hear that the group had a busy and prosperous year. Time to find management to book you guys on a national tour. You deserve it. Your videos are a great listen but many of us in the East would appreciate seeing your live show. You might try attending SPGBMA Nashville at the end of February for exposure and to hook up with management. .

    This group not only writes, sings and plays great but their rendition of this song is much better than the original.

She never taps but always creates fill ins. Amazing talent. .

As a group is only as good as its bass player, lets not overlook the fine bass playing and perfect timing by Sam that holds it all together. . One of my favorite bands.
