Commanding stage presence in the service of the music..not the "look at me" style I've seen from others recently. 2. Nice mixture of traditional with fast patterns. 3. Tight band that can bring it down. 4. Occasional OB's that fit the idea, not playing them to show that he can play them. 5. Speed chops apparent, but not overdone. I like this guy. ---------- The Iceman

Checkout the cd he has with the Barcelona Bluegrass Band--Lluis Gomez and Joan Pau Cumellas. Lots of cool moothie on there. ---------- http://www.reverbnation.com/#!/alprice

His singing is not at the same level as his harp playing certainly but it's not bad. The accent doesn't help though.
