We returned to the historic Heller estate for another concert on the lawn at Valhalla.
"Grateful Bluegrass Boys are an acoustic string band from the Santa Cruz/SF Bay Area. Their primary mission is to get the audience singing and dancing along to beloved songs one might or might not expect from a string band."
The setting just screams "Summer in Tahoe".
"The Band's first CD includes songs by Paul Simon, Willlie Nelson, Led Zeppelin, Johnny Nash, The Eagles and the Grateful Dead. While the name of the band references the Grateful Dead, gratitude is at the core of the band. They feel incredibly fortunate to play music for people all over the country and they keep their setlists fresh and diverse. Recent shows include music by Ray Charles, Dire Straits, Neil Young, the Cars and more."
For a little peek at the musical funness the Grateful Bluegrass Boys provided, check on this short video.
"You know, for most of its life bluegrass has had this stigma of being all straw hats and hay bales and not necessarily the most sophisticated form of music. Yet you can't help responding to its honesty. It's music that finds its way deep into your soul because it's strings vibrating against wood and nothing else." -Alison Krauss
