After almost 6 years i've started finding meds that work for my anxiety. A lot of people on here have been following my progress and im thankful. In the wake of that news ive started playing out some again in an Americana/Folk type band. Its not straight bluegrass but i've enjoyed playing with these guys. They're new to bluegrass but they are doing great. Please add us on facebook! https://www.facebook.com/backroadprophetsband
