As you like it: Mipso, string band composed of four UNC grads, caters to the fan experience

Posted Oct 15, 2015
Chapel Hill-based string band Mipso became enamored with Honda’s version of a minivan while traveling to 37 U.S. states this year. The group learned, though, that the roomy auto doesn’t fit their needs for overnight rest. “We are all totally converted to soccer mom life. We love the Odyssey. We think it’s amazing,” says mandolin player and singer Jacob Sharp. (Mountain Xpress)
