The word is getting around about 49 Special. The San Francisco-based bluegrass quartet surprised a lot of folks when they won the prestigious Rockygrass band competition in July of 2009. But it wasn’t a surprise to their legions of followers in the Bay Area who enthusiastically support this band of young, energetic, and remarkably talented musicians. Danny Booth, Jim Chayka, Alisa Rose, and Tyson Alteri have put together a sound that combines tradition with freshness and honors the first generation masters while clearly making a statement that they’ve got something to bring to the genre themselves. All the basic ingredients of good bluegrass are there – driving rhythm, soaring fiddling, hot picking, sweet, tight harmonies, and nimble choreography around the single mic. But what really puts them over with a crowd is the passion and excitement they express through their music. It’s spontaneous, it’s intense, it’s simply joyful.
