The bluegrass family increases

Bluegrass Today publishes the news that Dustin Benson and his wife Emmy Lou now have a daughter, Isabella Katherine (seen left with her father). On behalf of Irish bluegrass enthusiasts, the BIB sends good wishes and congratulations to 'Izzy', her parents, and her two older brothers.

Bluegrass fans here will have seen and heard Dustin on several tours as guitar player with the Special Consensus. He left the band last November; the present lineup (which we can hope to see and hear early in 2017) can be seen on the band's website.
