On an unseasonably cool late July evening, Mustered Courage was booked at New York City’s Hill Country Barbecue at the downstairs stage in the Boot Bar. Hill Country Barbecue might sound like a strange place for a concert. It most assuredly is not.

Mixing honky tonk imagery with bluegrass picking, guitar, banjo and/or mandolin strumming, bass plucking, a touch of Aussie humor, charming four-part harmony and top-flight musicianship, Mustered Courage owned the small stage.
