It’s been a big year for local punk bluegrass band Larry and His Flask. They were featured in Huffington Post, Rolling Stone…

Anyway, on Wednesday, I sat down with four of the boys from the band to have some beers and hear about their remarkable year. You can read about their stories from the road in next week’s paper. They’ve got a lot of big news to reveal…

AND! They also told me about some of their favorite music—stuff they’re listening to right. now.
Here’s who to check out:
Dry the River
Lost in the Trees
Punch Brothers
Skinny Lister
Murder by Death

• Three of the six LAHF members.

Don’t forget: they’re playing a New Year’s Eve show at Century Center.

And in case you missed their “Hobo’s Lament” video…
