Bluegrass evening at Wolf Trap
Our group, including Andy, his wife Lauren, and some of their other friends, was far back on the lawn. I could not really see much of the stage, but it was a least a good spot for a picnic, which is kind of the point for any show at Wolf Trap. Not knowing anything about Alison Krauss before the show, it was clear that Andy a little disappointed that all her songs were slow and mellow, often pertaining to love, heartbreak, and the like. I think he was expected a little livelier of a pop country type show. The show itself was very similar to their set at Bonnaroo, including the set list and several of their jams. The setting and our distance from the stage made the whole thing much more mellow as well. Nonetheless, it was nice to sit in the grass and relax as the melodies danced around the lawn.
