From IBMA WOB 2011

Thanks to the distinguished Virginia photo-journalist Dean Hoffmeyer for permission to use his striking photo of three prominent European bluegrass musicians at IBMA's World of Bluegrass 2011 in Nashville, TN, last week.

From left to right: Niall Toner (guitar) of the Niall Toner Band (IRL), Jimmy Sunnebrandt (bass) of the G2 Bluegrass Band (S), and Martino Coppo (mandolin) of Red Wine (I), warming up before Niall's set at the International showcase. This photo, originally published on Bluegrass Today, was mentioned by Niall on the BIB last Saturday.
