PICK OF THE WEEK: Jeff Austin & Friends - Friday & Saturday, March 14th & 15th - Denver & Rollinsville, CO

Why You Should Go: Jeff Austin is the mandolin player for Nederland based Bluegrass heros Yonder Mountain String Band. This year's edition of his "& Friends" shows will include fiddler extraordinare Darol Anger, Austin's neighbor and former String Cheese Incident guitarist Billy Nershi, and Nashville based bassist and cellist, Bryn Davies. Nothing short of an outstanding line-up if you are into the jam-based bluegrass that has saturated the front range for years.

The shows are bound to wild affairs with tight traditional style bluegrass tunes woven in with long improvisational jams. Austin is also known for his penchant to bring local guests up to the stage with him, including from time, one or more of his Yonder Mountain band mates or frequent collaborator Benny Galloway.
