 | Profile: A Look Inside of the Infamous Stringdusters |
 BMNN wrote:  For the Infamous Stringdusters' fiddler and vocalist Jeremy Garrett, 2007 was truly a "blur of highlights." Dobroist/vocalist Andy Hall says the year came off better than anyone in the band ever imagined. Now, on the eve of the release of their self-titled second album, the Infamous Stringdusters have had a chance to reflect on their individual high points.
Note: "The Infamous Stringdusters" - release date: June 10, 2008

| New Release: Before Bluegrass - Heather Berry & Tony |
 goodhomegrownmusic wrote:  Recorded in the style of early recordings such as The Bristol Sessions (live picking and singing) Before Bluegrass is a tribute to the treasured music that Heather and her husband Tony hold dear. There are no overdubs. Their obvious Carter Family and old time music influences shine through on this unique recording but do not overshadow the blossoming original talent that has taken root. They are a fan favorite and receive requests at their Bluegrass shows to showcase this "primitive" God given ability. www.HeatherBerryMusic.com

| New Release: Angel Band Takes Flight With Roots and Wings on May 27 |
lotosnile wrote:  The aptly named Angel Band features soaring, angelic three-part harmonies from three amazing singers - Nancy Josephson, Jen Schonwald and Kathleen Weber - each possessing a powerful, expressive voice that would make her the lead vocalist in any other band. Their sound is grounded in world-class musicianship, inventive and original songwriting and an irresistible mission to have and share a great time. That's evident on their sophomore CD, With Roots & Wings, due out May 27 on Appleseed Recordings. Legendary producer and pedal steel player Lloyd Maines produced and played on the album.

The weather was almost perfect for the 11th European World of Bluegrass Festival, sponsored by the European Bluegrass Music Association on 1-3 May. Attendance remained at peak level, the little Dutch town of Voorthuizen bursting with bluegrass music for 3 days as bands performed throughout the village, and musicians jammed in every corner of the festival venue.
