Boston-based string band The Deadly Gentlemen share their modern approach to acoustic music with a sound that incorporates pop, punk, rock, spoken word and rap elements. Banjo virtuoso, guitarist, singer and composer Danny Barnes is also back with us: Widely recognized as one of the best banjo players in America, Barnes’ sound combines elements of bluegrass, country, jazz, rock, folk and punk. And our E-Chievement Award story this week features an individual helping people with addiction recover and stay sober through community support.
