Shu played a fabulous gig on a fabulous day. On August 16, 2008 we were lucky enough to be part of the NCPR "UpNorth Music Concert" at Asgaard Farm in Ausable Forks, NY. The entire day was perfect. Althea Jean, Dan Hammond, Mark Tolstrup, and Shu played to a crowd of over 800 people. We played last.

Here is the whole Shu set... as for the last tune:

At the end of our set, one of the NCPR folks came up and asked us to stay on stage as he reassembled all of the day's musicians onstage. This recording was the result. We had at least 11 musicians on stage (banjo, fiddle, 2 steel drums, sax, 3 guitars, bass, drums, percussion, etc, etc). I can't tell you how moving this was. I hope it comes across in the recording. All I know is that we (Shu) were high on the experience for hours afterward. We camped out that night and played music into the wee hours. Without doubt, inspired by this little jam. Enjoy!
