- On Things That Fly, their third album, due out April 20, 2010 on Sugar Hill, The Infamous Stringdusters venture into virtually uncharted territory for an acoustic group: a sonically and thematically expansive album that lends itself to absorbed listening from start to finish.
- Sugar Hill Records is proud to announce the April 6th release of Feast of the Hunters’ Moon, the debut album from Portland, Oregon-based Black Prairie. Featuring three-fifths of The Decemberists and two of the city’s finest folk stylists, the heavily acoustic debut was produced by Tucker Martine (The Decemberists, Death Cab for Cutie) and embodies the rich sonic landscape of the Portland music scene while integrating the diverse backgrounds of its members. As described by dobroist Chris Funk, the band’s sound “bridges the music of Clarence White and Ennio Morricone” in a way that defies genre characterization. The band is now taking pre-orders for the record on their website.
- Sam Bush TV is one of the more entertaining video series we've encountered in a while. Sam is a legend of the bluegrass/newgrass genre, and he is a fantastic storyteller. Head over to Sam's website to enjoy some of the episodes that have already been posted - live performances of songs from "Circles Around Me", stories about the origins of Newgrass Revival, and the first multi-day bluegrass festival, amongst lots of other great footage.
