Audie Blaylock's band's a bit less stable than most bluegrass bands, but the version he brought to the Charlotte, Michigan, festival in 2013 was immensely talented. Banjo: Russ Carson, now with Ricky Skaggs. Fiddle: Patrick McAvinue, now with Dailey and Vincent; also with Charm City Junction. 2017 IBMA fiddler of the year. Bass: Jason Moore, now with Sideline, previously with Mountain Heart. Guitar: Audie Blaylock, previously with Jimmy Martin and Rhonda Vincent. And other bands. Mandolin: Jesse Brock, now with Fast Track; formerly with Michael Cleveland, later with the Gibson Brothers. Twice IBMA mando player of the year.

Russell Moore and IIIrd Tyme Out will be playing at this year's Charlotte (MI) Bluegrass Festival on Friday, June 22. Wayne Benson's been a member of IIIrd Tyme Out for most of its existence--and 3TO's played at the Charlotte festival most summers since the band was formed. That's lead singer/guitarist Russell Moore beyond Wayne, and Steve Dilling--now with Sideline, as we've seen--beyond Russell. I've seen these guys a lot. There's no band I like better.
