It's time for some recent YouTube links of favored artists performing favored songs live in favored venues. I stuck fairly close to the knitting but I do want to highlight the 1st entry from Fruition, an awesome Portland acoustic/folk/bluegrass band with keen vocals and writing, and especially fine instrument sound. The link offered is a stripped down set from Paste but the trio of Jay Cobb Anderson (vocals, lead guitar, harmonica), Kellen Asebroek (vocals, rhythm guitar, piano), and Mimi Naja (vocals, mandolin, electric & acoustic guitar) are often completed with the beat provided by Jeff Leonard (bass) & Tyler Thompson (drums, banjo). Simply, they are awesome. A 2nd link features the full band with a recent "hit;" a 3rd link provides an early formative capture.
