Cabinet is an east coast bluegrass band from Scranton, PA.  I think these guys have some interesting tunes and have enjoyed the majority of them.  They can bust out some real nice sounding solos, passing the torch around to let everyone get in on a piece of the celebration.  They have received some nice exposure in the last year (forming in 2006) and will most likely be pushing out more albums. Check em out!

Live Performance

From their album Leap

Just recently, I curiously went to a bar to hear a band from Portland, Oregon named Hillstomp. This two man band absolutely killed it, bringing a flurry of energy with a Northwest edge.  Their music is a bluegrassy, rockin, grungy, stomp style hoedown needed to be enjoyed by all.  The drummer plays on a drum/bucket/can set and the guitarist will play numerous styles. Check them out!
