Some pretty neat playing on this version of Above and Beyond. The steeler is Sylvain Pouliot, and Jean-Guy Grenier is on six string lead but as many of you know he is also a world class steel player. These guys amaze me with their talent...the whole band does. I don't think this show is on anymore which is unfortunate.

Sylvain is a pretty darn passable Mandolin player as well, and I'm sure many other instruments.

Charlie, at least three of them in that video are multi-instrumentalists. Besides steel I've seen Sylvain play dobro, mando and six string. Jean-Guy plays steel, six string, bass and banjo...and no doubt more. And Andre Proulx is an absolutely legendary fiddler/violinist, as comfortable in classical as in country, plus he plays keyboards, mando and I'm sure much more. I read that when they created that weekly show they went after the best musicians they could find and they certainly found them. |
