The Infamous Stringdusters–The Laws Of Gravity
The Grammy-nominated bluegrass powerhouse is back with The Laws Of Gravity, and this one is an absolute jaw-dropper. Over the course of 13 mesmerizing tunes that put their kickstands down firmly on the bluegrass-y landscape, the band manages to push the limits of what string band music can be; with everything from down-home multi-layered harmonies stretched across rapidly furious finger-picking, connected to countrified storytelling twangers, tethered to hoe-down worthy jam band fodder, it’s infamously extraordinary (see what we did there).
Moonsville Collective–Moonsville I
Our favorite purveyors of “California Goodtime“are on a unique mission–Moonsville Collective plans to unleash four EPs over the course of 2017. First up, the aptly-titled Moonsville I; comprised of five songs that evoke the musical spirits of bands like The Grateful Dead and The Band combined with their signature Southern California hootenanny-style picking, Moonsville Collective is embracing all of their influences, and holding nothing back.
Blackie And The Rodeo Kings–Kings And Kings
