Rowan Rice Quartet, February 18, 2006 Tennessee Theater, Knoxville, TN

[@oneworld9071]

With absolute respect and no licentious intent, these ladies are as beautiful as they are artists. Bryn is just "scrumptious". WOW..... the expressive bass player is a rare find; she is "one with her instrument"..... essentially born to play, and carrying out that mission with heart n' soul. LessThanFace, many thanks for sharing this.

[@ronaldpetrin5823]

I agree whole heartedly.

[@Dloomis494]

Looking and thinking back to all of my Tony Rice video, this is one of the best representatives of his expertise.

[@JanJohanssonmusic]

mighty fine... thanks for sharing

[@chrisarcari4919]

mad crazy girl on bass Bryn Davies....God she can play that thing, awesome, and wonderful to watch, I think I'm in love !!!

[@94757598494309438]

[@jamesnm21]

Tony's tone pumps adrenaline straight into your bones

[@jackcrane7853]

Unique

[@kevinhennessey3189]

Just a pleasure to hear this great group of musicians.

[@tonyloperfido711]

Great music it doesnt get any better than this love it

[@jackfanning7952]

Tony Rice is great. He is the backbone to the melody.

[@ICU2HI]

Miss seeing Tony at Suwanee Music Park. He was always my favorite. Best Flat Picker I've ever seen...

[@OlafRonald]

....Sharon is a great and beautiful artist!!

[@narrml]

This is a terrific treasure, to hear a full set of many songs together. Thank you very kindly for putting it up.

[@LessThanFaceProductions1]

glad you enjoyed it!

[@Canoe571]

Bryn Davies

[@123must]

Thanks a lot !

[@paul29671]

At 55:00+ Midnight Moonlight, the playing is great, but NOBODY beats Vassar's solo on Old & In The Way- NOBODY.

[@Dloomis494]

Sennheiser 421s from the front row of the balcony dead center. This is what we got. I'm pretty sure that there was a set of Neumanns just left and center.

[@dyerstraite]

Sure wish Tony's mic was turned up a bit!

[@Dloomis494]

This complete set was performed during the Downtown Hoedown at the Tennessee Theater along with the Sam Bush Band and the Hackensaw Boys. It was a great combination and Tony was at the very top of his game. Best wishes to all from Less Than Face Productions.

[@ronaldpetrin5823]

Marmaduke you hear this?

[@babyrinthe297]

MY BDAY!!!!!!

[@strawman8]

I always admired Tony Rice and Peter Rowan as musicians and bluegrass singers but what's in the girls' water caz hell they can sing and that mandolin picker is awesome and Bryn Davies can really make that bass talk. Anybody know where Sharon Gilchrist is playin now ? Thanks for sharin.

[@drewby613]

strawman8 Was reading up on Bryn Davies FB page--she did a degree at Berklee School of Music in jazz performance, and plays multiple instruments. As good as they look, they were hired for their serious chops!!

[@lafiddler1846]

She has some cool f hole tatoos copied from her bass too.

[@LoveFlatfootin1]

Love the very beat duct tape stand-up bass.

[@MandoAficionado]

It would sound a lot better if you could hear Tony's guitar.

[@pduncan742]

I'd walk to Nashville barefoot for a shot of that bass player

[@c.p.vaughn5329]

I would crawl on my hands and knees.

[@jbrobertson7505]

They never turn up Tony’s mike

[@danielmorris3687]

Are Sharon Gilchrist and Bryn Davies sisters or related somehow? They look a lot alike but more importantly they harmonize like only siblings or family can. Their voices blend beautifully. Does anyone happen to know if they are kin of some sort?

[@flocondavoine77]

:) !!!

[@nickmessore7078]

Who is the lady on stand-up bass? That's beyond hot!

[@alanyoung2]

The sound man should have been fired.

[@jackhartwell6536]

How can you sit in a sound booth with headphones on and MISS the levels. Probably have scopes on them and all. Must have been good weed or SOMETHING??

[@richardcrocker8048]

alanyoung2 Always good to have microphones and "solid-state" pickups ..... you can always go back if you record and change the mix.

[@oneworld9071]

It sounds as if the entire feed is from the camera mic, and little to no board-to-video auxiliary feed. It's quite the challenge to isolate acoustic instruments in such a large space, especially with the natural reverb around them. This is as close to "being there" as it'll get; the sound man was probably as good as they get and not connected to the camera.

[@dufus2273]

tony's mic was waaay too low......

[@LessThanFaceProductions1]

@@oneworld9071 Audio for the entire gig(the Downtown Hodown) was a little low. I ran Nakamich 300s into a 4-channel mixer and then into a Sony Digital 8 mini input. Now that I'm thinking about it, I could redo the audio(if I could ever get around to it).
