Three points:
1) Fox hunts and hares chasing hounds is at the foundation of the modern version of "cross country". Look it up!
2) Fox Hunt by Sierra Hull recently "shook the field" at a renowned bluegrass festival I was at. So if you know of Sierra Ferrell you will also know of Sierra Hull, former child prodigy and evangelist mandolin player. She is nicknamed the "Disney Princess of Bluegrass" whereas Ferrell is kind of a "gutter rat" (inside joke said on stage at festival). I caught on to Sierra Hull because of her technical music talent alone and before we touch down on how adorable she is, I will listen to her pop-ish bluegrass now, as-is, because I like her and she is very uplifiting. But I am curious for her next chapters with Bela Fleck as her producer. She has already lived a successful music career and is only 31. For instance, on next chapters, she is taking the stage with String Cheese Incident July 14th at Red Rocks. If she picked up a Mandola like Michael Kang, she could take us all places with her raw talent.
This is the concert I went to live:
3) The rest of the festival's music:
Another jam that shook the stadium (Saturday) came from The Lil Smokies (I dislike the name). It is the jam part of a song called Durango, not yet out. The background music was actually really loud on the field and the spliced recording does it only partial justice:
The rest of the TBGF concerts can be found below courtesy of KOTO radio. The girls liked late night Charley Crockett who shakes and drops his hips like Elvis and sings nothing but the blues. The old timers enjoy Sam Bush and Jerry Douglas. Chatham County Line played "Queen Anne's Gold" which was also very good (check out studio version on YouTube). Lots of great live music straight from the soundboard!

That Mike Myer's joke about every household in the suburbs in the late 1970s had this album and the Boston album. It was mandatory.
