On the surface, the quartet Mipso may seem like a traditional folk-bluegrass band with its exquisite harmonies, melodies and instrumentation. Zoom in, however, and you’ll also hear layers of modern sounds and influences. In this episode, band members Jacob Sharp and Joseph Terrell discuss coming back to NC to play together, crafting a live record and the Japanese origin of the band’s unique name. Don't miss Mipso on Shaped by Sound, March 20 on PBS NC, YouTube and the PBS app. Louise lyrics: We laid a sheet on the piano keys Crying, ""Good Lord please, please"" We packed our things into the old farm car Wondering if it could take us very far And I said, ""Everything about it takes a little luck The gears rumble and the left door's stuck It doesn't come with any guarantees But there's gas in the tank, Louise"" #PBSNC #ShapedBySound #Mipso #NCMusic #ComeHearNC #NorthCarolina
