Big Richard joins host Raina Douris

The four bluegrass musicians who make up Big Richard were already accomplished solo players before combining their talents. On the World Cafe, they talk about what is special about this band compared to other configurations they have played in – Big Richard is all women – and they share live performances recorded at Washingtons in Fort Collins as a part of the Sense of Place: Colorado series.

Listen to the session here.
