In a previous post, we asked “How good is the Cream City Bluegrass Band?” Our answer, “Pretty good. Good enough to be enjoyable and satisfying even for seasoned and discriminating bluegrass fans.” Translation: If you are any sort of Bluegrass fan, listening to the group is an excellent way of spending an evening.
