Stopped by Tidballs to catch a little of the Lost River Cavemen’s CD release party and got a bonus. The Bloodroots Barter opened up the show and they were impressive.

The all-acoustic, bluegrass-influenced band played a spirited set with guitar, mandolin, upright bass, and banjo. The vocals were really good too. If you get a chance to catch them, go for it.

The Bloodroots Barter played at Tidballs 2/19/2011. You can get more info on the band at www.reverbnation.com/thebloodrootsbarter.
