Co-produced by Schlegel and Brian Fesler and recorded in Minnesota, the project drops April 6, 2010. "We took a more relaxed, spontaneous approach on DANDELION," says Becky, a new Nashville resident.

| Review: Josh Williams 'Down Home' - A Review |
SRBullins wrote:  I first saw and heard Josh Williams perform as a relatively new band member of Rhonda Vincent and the Rage in the spring of 2004, at a small theatre venue, The Carroll County High School Auditorium, in Hillsville, Virginia. I had been a fan of Audie Blaylock, and went to the show somewhat distressed that Rhonda had fired Audie to hire this new young guitar player. I can't remember if I was more impressed initially by his guitar playing, his vocals or the magic he made when he took the mandolin from Rhonda. By the end of the show, however, I was definitely a Josh Williams fan, and remain a fan today.

| Announcement: More Artist Lineup Additions for Pagosa Folk 'N Bluegrass |
BMNN wrote:  Pagosa Springs, CO -- New Pagosa Folk 'N Bluegrass lineup additions include Darol Anger and the Republic of Strings plus The Belleville Outfit. Somewhere beyond or behind all musical borders lies a creative terrain where bluegrass, jazz, classical, pop, and various world musics mingle, played by musicians who care more for inspiration than they do for genre. If that place has a name, it's surely the Republic of Strings, for no one knows its contours better than veterans Darol Anger, cellist Mike Block, five-string violinist Lauren Rioux and guitarist Scott Law. They have created the visionary musical landscape of the Republic, exemplified by their two recordings, Republic Of Strings and Generation Nation, for Compass Records. The Republic will play Sunday, June 6 at 4:30 PM.
