The Weirbacks, as the combination has been dubbed, have performed several times, including Merlefest and Hardly Strictly Bluegrass. The Waybacks and Bobby’s band, Ratdog, were both on the bill for a Rex Foundation benefit in San Francisco on 12/15/07, and the “St Stephen” you hear here is the happy result of their collaboration that night.
