Twisted Pine is a Boston based band that was once bluegrass, but now has a more poppy vibe. With virtuosic playing and tight harmonies, driving rhythms, and clever songwriting, the band is, according to the Boston Globe, “ A wider version of a string band, boundary jumpers akin to outfits like Punch Brothers, Nickel Creek, and Crooked Still.” Great live show, maybe the most exciting acoustic band around!
