THE INFAMOUS STRINGDUSTERS latest EP, Undercover Vol. 2 has entered the Billboard Bluegrass Albums Chart at #9, the Grammy-nominated band learned today. Released Friday, October 27 via Lumenhouse Recordings, the project pays homage to some of the band's favorite artists, including The Allman Brothers Band ("Jessica"), My Morning Jacket ("Golden"), Daft Punk ("Get Lucky"), Marvin Gaye ("What's Going On") and The Cure ("Just Like Heaven"), and continues in the spirit of honoring the music that has influenced them. Check out RollingStone.com/Country's debut of their Cure cover here.
Meanwhile, the band has announced their first batch of 2018 tour dates kicking off January 17 in Georgia, weaving their way all the way across the country, wrapping in Seattle March 10 (with support from Horseshoes & Hand Grenades, Dangermuffin and The Last Revel). The Stringdusters are currently on the road in the Midwest and will hit New York City's Irving Plaza Friday, November 17 (full itinerary below). In a recent live review, Live For Live Music said, "Not only are all five members virtuosic at their instrument of choice, four out of five confidently step into the role of lead vocalist and can croon and harmonize with the best of them."
THE INFAMOUS STRINGDUSTERS have performed over 115 shows so far this year and have New Year's Eve shows in Berkeley, CA and Aspen, CO. The band will perform two co-headlining shows at UC Berkeley: with Keller Williams and Grateful Grass December 28 and Leftover Salmon December 29. They'll then head to Aspen's Wheeler Opera House for a special "evening with" NYE performance to ring in 2018.
