• Danny Barnes: banjo, acoustic guitar, lead (t03, t09, t15, t17) & harmony vox;
• David Grisman: mandolin, lead (t18) & harmony vox;
• Sam Grisman: contrabass, lead (t06, t12, t17) & harmony vox.

It was good to see Grisman again, and the new trio spins a bunch of nice variations on his bag of tunes. Most of the set matches his latest album (played here in a close match to top-to-bottom order), but with a couple substitutions. I hope Dawg keeps this band together for another go 'round in a few months!

Big thanks to Ting for the photo gallery!
