Last week, I had the privilege and pleasure of being invited to play and sing in a small jam that included these amazing folks!

[@lowieh.3451]

What do you play ObservantHistorian?

[@emryb]

I got to see Kelly and Amanda live at Blue Waters Bluegrass festival in Washington. I was hooked!

[@MichaelMarkGuitar]

I love this video… Kenny is my favorite bluegrass guitarist alive. He stands out from everyone else to me; while a lot of flatpickers are playing a million notes, in one word I would describe Kenny’s playing as “chill”. And needless to say, Amanda is one of the best female bluegrass vocalists on the scene!

[@wandering128]

@Michael Mark I love this video too.. keep coming back to it... Agreed on the points you made.

[@greekflatpicker]

They are the real deal.

[@gui-texzan7477]

Heavy praise, coming from you. I've enjoyed your videos for years. ✌️

[@thomashardin846]

Relaxed setting. Yet a clinic of lead and rhythm guitar.

[@jeffg.5630]

Excellent.

[@danherrick2310]

I've never played a guitar that was better than a Collings, and only a couple that were close! I remember the first time i played one at a shop, i actually got to play 5 or 6. "This is the best guitar i've ever played... no, this one is! no.... this one!" You could spin a roulette wheel and land on any collings and i'd be happy with it. Someday...

[@CollingsGuitars]

Thanks Dan. Consistent quality is something we've always strived for, so your compliment is very much appreciated!

[@bgp6656]

one day, probably one very very far away, I *will* own a Collings as well

[@barrygriffith834]

I knew Jenny was fantastic BUT..... Amanda's rythm and control on that Fred was spectacular

[@angelovanoeveren7936]

Wow!
Love this rendition, wonderfull preformance!

[@Malagrass]

Excellent

[@acousticguitar130]

Not sure what I like the best...Kenny's picking or the guitar...!!!

[@chucklambert7283]

That is some damn fine work right there

[@pulnb]

Just stumbled across this because I was listening to Gilian Welch. I thought this was going to be some quaint little recording in somebody’s living room. Within two notes I knew that I was sorely mistaken. This was amazing! And I now know what I’m going to be doing for the next month- studying the $&@* out of this video and learning it note for note.

[@reitairue2073]

Literally just randomly saw you picking this in a video, had to check it out. You guys are awesome man, that guitar is smooooooth. The vocals are a perfect fit honestly. Great duo.

[@geraldbrown2875]

Love finding these hidden gems on YT! Some really fine picking & singing👍🎸🇨🇦

[@donaldholman9070]

I want one....

[@josvanbeeck4536]

[@dianeholtorf1626]

Awesome!

[@daveebryan828]

...there's actually a 'thumbs down' on this vid?!?
Beautifully Done! Thanks for posting!

[@guildy40]

What brand capo is he using?

[@kerrykrishna]

Why was I convinced this was a John Reischman and the JayBirds original?

[@gui-texzan7477]

This doesn't suck.✌️
