Hello friends -

We hope you are healthy and happy! We miss playing music for you. A socially distant jam session is no substitute.

It's not easy releasing an album in 2020, and there will be no big night of bluegrass down at Rhythm and Rye to celebrate. But we're happy to announce that Diamonds & Flowers is now available on tons of streaming platforms thanks to CDBaby's digital distribution program!

You can also order a good old-fashioned CD on our website. 

It'd mean a lot to us if you'd follow us and…

DIAMONDS AND FLOWERS UPDATE

It's not our usual August update, with live shows, hoedown fundraisers, and bluegrass festival performances... but we do have big news. We were delayed a bit getting every piece of this new album locked in, but we're happy to announce that it's now off to print! 

93 of you have preordered a signed copy, and we can't thank you enough! With live music on hold, it would not have been possible to do this without your help. We're hoping to get your CDs in the mail by mid-September. 

…

The Steamboat Jamboree is on, May 29-30! Tickets are ON SALE NOW! Take advantage of our Early Bird pricing to get your ticket-worms at a lower price than your friends who wait to buy 'em at the door! We're looking forward to this being the best year yet! 

Stay tuned for lineup announcements, logistics, vendor and volunteer opportunities, and more details! We also would love to have your organization as an official sponsor!
