   They get a lot of money so it's difficult for venues to   
   afford them. It's $50K a show.  They do get a lot of   
   offers and don't decide what they are going to do in   
   the year ahead until December of the previous year.   
   I guess they wait till all the offers are in and then pick   
   and choose. They're not your average bluegrass band   
   so you won't ever catch them at your local town fair.
