Goat Rodeo could be the world’s most virtuosic country band. Cellist Yo-Yo Ma, mandolinist Chris Thile, bassist Edgar Meyer and banjoist/fiddler Stuart Duncan effortlessly straddle the chasm between classical and bluegrass, cheerfully ignoring genre purity in favour of pure music-making. They play original tunes steeped in Americana with lyric fluidity, balancing rusticity and peerless technique to produce something undeniably fun. They also work together in various configurations outside Goat Rodeo, inviting in other GOATs (James Taylor's gentle but earnest vocals are a natural fit on Stephen Foster's "Hard Times Come Again No More").
