The Woodshedders bring the influence of vintage American music forward in its songwriting with a sound sure to be embraced by fans of The Band, Andrew Bird, Jack White, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Mumford & Sons, and The Avett Brothers. The end of 2013 brought the release of The Woodshedders’ all-original album, Wildfire, a storybook ramble that explores the band’s diverse roots music influences, and spotlights its virtuosic members.

The line-up of great bands and artists has been expanded for the 4th Annual John Hartford Memorial Festival, taking place May 29-31, 2014 at the Bill Monroe Music Park and Campground in Bean Blossom, IN.

Global-rock quintet Toubab Krewe have announced their 2014 spring “Chase The Sun” tour with dates across North America.

In the big scheme of things, The Revivalists are still a relatively new band.  They’ve been together 7 years, which in dog years is only 1, but I’ll be damned if they don’t have as many die-hard, cult-status fans as The Rolling Stones.  The venue was packed even before the opener, and the minute These Mad Dogs of Glory had cleared the stage after their spectacular performance, the air was buzzing with feverish anticipation.
