Video from In The Band on Vimeo.

Ben Kaufmann talks about the band’s influences which, for a bluegrass band, are surprising – Frank Zappa to name one. Dave Johnston explains to viewers how bluegrass evolved from people expressing their wants, desires and fears through song. Later, Jeff Austin gives the real-deal take on what it’s like being in the band.

Afterward, the band was videotaped performing a couple of songs. You can watch “Sometimes I’ve Won” in Part II. The performance footage showed during the interview is from the song “Hill Country Girl.”
