Sometime last Saturday night it dawned on me why the guys from the Infamous Stringdusters are doing so well for themselves; their charm and charisma comes through without toting a hometown identity. When the Dusters play in Nashville or Telluride, or Eugene, they make the crowd feel like their hometown crowd. Since the evolving genre… Continue reading Infamous Stringdusters | Fox Theater | 2/16/2013 | Review
