Got to check out two reso-enabled acoustic ensembles last night @ Ziggy’s in Winston-Salem, NC.

Hit And Run from Colorado was in town sporting a new hub-capper named David Richey.  David attended ETSU’s Bluegrass program and is an exciting modern-style player.  He’s a lefty, which interestingly aided in tracking his movements due to the mirror image effect.  He plays a great sounding Meredith Maple (sounded great through an SM58).  He played most of the night sans-capo (well, might I add).  Great singer too.  Keep an eye out for David.  He’s a great addition to an already entertaining and exciting band.
The next set was The Biscuit Burners.  Bill Cardine was a joy as always.  He and Dan Bletz fired off a new reso/guitar duet that I really liked.  I hope they record it.  BC was rigged up with a KSM44/Schertler combo with the pickup running into a Schertler Unico amp.  He was mic’ing the amp, but I didn’t recognize the mic.

Fun reso night indeed.
