Red State Ramblers in Turkey

From Ron Pen at UK:

The Red State Ramblers old time string band who closed out the "appalachia in the Bluegrass" concert series at UK are returning from Istanbul today following a remarkable musical journey that took them to Kyrgyzstan and culminated in a final sold-out concert at the Bishkek Opera House in collaboration with our friends from Ustatshakirt led by Nurlan Nyshanov. We have experienced a parade of wonders and forged many friendships as a bridge was crafted across 11 hours and 7,000 miles.
