Blending New Grass Revival (and more) favorites with old and new originals, they pair masterful picking, rich harmony, and stories that are heartfelt, funny, and hard-earned. Cowan calls Bulla , "rdquo" -> one of the most beautiful gifts" of his long musical life, while Bulla, inspired by Cowan since his youth, considers sharing the stage a , "rdquo" -> dream come true" and a source of , "rdquo" -> immense gratitude and honor". Together, they deliver music rooted in gratitude, joy, and deep mutual respect. Quotes: , "rdquo" -> I, unbelievably, have entered my 72nd year as a human and 58th as a professional musician. There is much to say, songs to sing that brought me here, and much musical merriment to look forward to. Unlike the proverbial rolling stone I have gathered many musical partnerships (moss?) that continue to inspire me. Luke Bulla is surely one of these. The level of his musicianship is only exceeded by the size of his heart and humility. I consider him to be one of the most beautiful gifts I've been given in my lifetime." - John Cowan , "rdquo" -> A large portion of my core formative musical inspirations involve the music of John Cowan. I listened to New Grass Revival on a daily basis for years and would sing harmony and play fiddle with those records never imagining how blessed I would be to get to play and sing with John quite a lot over these last 25 years. My first gig in Nashville was touring, recording, and playing the Grand Ol' Opry with Ricky Skaggs and Kentucky Thunder. I was 19. I was overjoyed to be hired by The John Cowan Band in 2001 and we proceeded to have a good handful of years playing the most fun, creative, wild, beautiful music I could imagine. I have since gone on to record several of my own projects that John is featured on and I'm so proud of the fact that John has recorded several of my original songs over the years. Playing and singing with John is a dream come true and I am immensely grateful and honored to share the stage with him and to bring our music to you all." - Luke Bulla
