We started rolling out all the great footage of Michael Daves' set at RockyGrass last summer. We recently posted a great version of "June Apple" and "The Dirt That You Throw", both of which appear on Michael's album Orchids and Violence. After that we added "Elzic's Farewell", "It's Been a Good Year for the Roses", "Drunken Hiccups" and "Stargazer". 

Update: we just added "Dark Angel", which is a duet with Michael Daves and Brittany Haas. This set also features Noam Pikelny, Mike Bub and Dominick Leslie. You can find it all the +Music section of the Learn area!
