Bluegrass Jam in Brookline 2

Greg Fleischut (guitar-left), Etienne Cremieux (mandolin), Erik Oliver (guitar-right), April 2006
Greg and Etienne met at David Grisman's mandolin symposium in Santa Cruz in the summer of 2006. Both were 15 at the time. Greg is from San Francisco, Etienne from Brookline, Mass. They became fast friends and have continued to get together at various bluegrass festivals and on vacations. This video was taken during Greg's visit to Brookline when the guys were just sitting in Etienne's living room jamming. It was taken with a simple Sony Cybershot camera (not even a video camera) and the guys probably didn't even know that they were being filmed. Both have played bluegrass for a few years by then. Both play multiple instruments, Etienne is a wicked fiddler. They also regularly get together at Rockygrass academy and festival. Both also play jazz, classical, and other genres. Greg composes music, sings, and plays guitar with an indie rock band he started with a group of friends as a freshman in high school called The Audiophiles (check them out at www.myspace.com/theaudiophilescali and on itunes.

although i actually play in an irish folk band i really love bluegrass music. maybe it us because bluegrass music has its roots in irish and also scottish music. howver it is really hard to find banjo or mandoline players but i will not gove up my hope. ;)
