Although these exceptional musicians performed together in various concerts and sessions, they united as David's Rounder Album Band for the first and only time on July 30, 1989, at the Grass Valley Bluegrass Festival in California. With bassist Mark Schatz joining them, this one-time performance delivered powerful, vibrant, and inspired music that left an indelible mark on bluegrass history.
