The Waybacks, along with special guests Joan Osborne, Sam Bush, Jim Lauderdale, and Jens Kruger, have something special planned for this year’s Hillside Album Hour, the band’s eighth consecutive performance of what has become a hallmark MerleFest event.

With a focus on sustainability and community, the soulful sisters of Rising Appalachia and their band are proud to announce the release of Wider Circles today, Tuesday, April 21st.

Having long cultivated a reputation as a go-for-broke live juggernaut, Dopapod is set for their biggest summer yet with performances at Bonnaroo, High Sierra, Electric Forest, the infamous Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Colorado, and most everywhere else in between.  To cap things off, the band has announced a string of West Coast dates in July.  This marks Dopapod's first voyage all the way out west, a move that the foursome are anxiously awaiting to make.
