Handful of Luvin at Treehouse Point







The scene: a small barn open on one end, deep in a dark green forest, a river nearby. Torches smoldering in the early evening, guests twittering, cars parked on gravel, one by one, tight.

The band, Handful of Luvin, played at Treehouse Point in Fall City on Wednesday night. The venue was spectacular, the band was entertaining. The fiddler, Andrew Joslyn, was, however, extraordinary. Command of one's instrument is a given for any professional musician. The extra spark and wit set him apart, and without Andrew's talent Handful would be just another Dave Mathews-style pop band. With a little more work on their material, perhaps digging into their bluegrass roots, they could actually be something special.
