Chicken Wire Empire with Steve Albert in the Blue Lake Studio

Chicken Wire Empire was on a tour around Michigan last week and they agreed to come to our Dave Myers Performance Studio for a 5-song session, and you can hear it this Saturday evening at 8:00. Their style of bluegrass is tight, with many original songs, and a great way of reworking classics from Flatt and Scruggs and others. It was a wonderful visit with music and chat, and we'll bring it to the airwaves (and the web) on A Michigan Saturday Night! You can also see a video of them performing a Sheryl Crow cover here:
