The Millstone Rounders, in the fine old time bluegrass tradition, is a group that gathered its members the old-fashioned way. The band's core, James and Oona of Drank the Gold drew together their friends to make music - still in the old time music space, but just a little different than the Irish focus of much of their repertoire. See The Millstone Rounders at Caffe Lena on December 15th.
