Redwood Bluegrass Associates welcomed a standing room only crowd for tonight’s show featuring The Tuttle Family With A. J. Lee. The locals then proceeded to give their many fans a great show. The program featured the singing of A. J. Lee and Molly Tuttle, and the hot picking of the entire ensemble. The program focused on bluegrass and gospel music, but ranged from country to swing to gypsy jazz. The audience demanded and got two encores.
