I wanted to add a few impressions to what Brance posted earlier... Mountain Heart: I thought that their showcase was brilliant, and was very interested to see how they would approach this "going over to the other side" vibe. When the band launched in 1999 - in another en masse exodus from Doyle Lawson - [...]
Here is a gallery of photos from last night's (9/29) IBMA festivities. We are very fortunate this year to have Dean Hoffmeyer shooting for us during World Of Bluegrass. He is a Pulitzer-nominated photographer with The Richmond Times Dispatch, and his work speaks for itself. Dean's work also graces a number of recent bluegrass CD [...]
Just a quick update to say there is a ton of great bluegrass music being played this year. I saw three bands last night, all excellent. First, John and I were able to catch a Mountain Heart show. The band performed some of their more requested tunes, but also unveiled some new music they're working [...]
Sim Daley has introduced a new mandolin, built to Adam Stefffey's exact specifications. Sim hasn't decided yet whether it will officially be dubbed the Adam Steffey Model, but that is what it will be no matter what its called. It's the instrument Adam is playing now with The Dan Tyminski Band and you can have [...]
Adam Steffey will be hosting a special CD release event this evening in Nashville - and we are all invited! The CD, One More For the Road, was released on Tuesday and Sugar Hill and BMI have teamed up to sponsor a free live show at The Station Inn (September 24). It all starts at [...]
In addition to preparing for IBMA, WAMU's Bluegrass Country host Katy Daley has several big interviews on tap this week during her morning show. This morning (9/23) at 9:00 a.m. (EDT), Katy will speak with Valerie Smith about her 3rd annual Dare to Be Different Showcase, held in Bell Buckle, TN just prior to the [...]
One More For The Road, the new Adam Steffey CD isn't due until September 22, but the good folks at Sugar Hill have agreed to let us offer a few sneak peeks here on Bluegrass Today. The album showcases Adam as both a vocalist and a fiery mandolinist, accompanied by an all-star cast of pickers [...]
Randy Kohrs is in the process of finishing up a new acoustic CD. We don't have a title yet for the CD, but we're told an early fall release on Rural Rhythm Records is the plan. A single has just been sent to radio on the new Rural Rhythm Fresh Tracks CD. The title of [...]
Adam Steffey is surely one of the most recorded mandolinists in bluegrass this past 15 years or so. He has spent time with two powerfully influential acts - Alison Krauss & Union Station and Mountain Heart - where he has been featured on both mandolin and lead vocals. Adam is currently a member of Dan [...]
The Kruger Brothers have been a fixture on the folk and Americana circuit for the past ten years - since they moved to the US from their native Switzerland in 1997. Jens Kruger in particular has established himself as one of the most technically advanced banjo players in the history of the five string, and [...]
