The Red Wine Bluegrass Party #3 was a blast! Our special guests, Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver, returning to Genova after 28 years (we organised a show for them in 1983), played two great shows last weekend for an enthusiastic crowd coming from all over Italy, France, and Switzerland.
Presenting new material from their latest CD Drive time, as well as some of their trademark a cappella gospel numbers and old hits, Doyle Lawson and the boys proved one more time to be one of the hottest bluegrass bands of all time, filling the Teatro della Gioventù with beautiful harmonies, soulful singing, solid arrangements, and tasteful breaks.


While in Genova Doyle had also the chance to visit master luthier Corrado Giacomel's workshop, where he was so impressed as to acquire a brand new J5 Giacomel mandolin [right], which he played the same night on stage!
See you in 2012 for Red Wine Bluegrass Party #4, we've already started working for!
