It was cold outside, but inside the Intersection was on fire. Blazing fiddle, smoking banjo, and hot bass lines. Chicago's own progressive bluegrass band Cornmeal brought down the house Friday night. With a mix of long improv jams and shorter structured songs the band had something for everyone. My personal favorite being the second song in the set, “Calling Me Back Home.” This is a different and new sound that you should definitely check out. The crowd was as diverse as the music itself, the front lounge was full of people stomping their feet, tapping their toes, and dancing around. It was a fun time to check out something new, and I will definitely be checking out more of their stuff.
