Today, on his 30th birthday, GRAMMY Award-winning singer, songwriter and musician Billy Strings announces Me/And/Dad, the first album he’s recorded with his father, Terry Barber, will be released November 18 via Rounder Records (pre-order here). The product of a longtime dream, the record features new versions of fourteen bluegrass and country classics that the two have been playing together since Strings was a young child.

Jason Moore, the bassist for bluegrass powerhouse Sideline who passed away last fall, was named Bass Player of The Year at the International Bluegrass Music Association Awards held last week in Raleigh, North Carolina.

It’s been four long years since award-winning quintet Sister Sadie released their last album, and while the group’s hardly been idle — they took home the International Bluegrass Music Association’s top Entertainer of the Year award in 2020, Vocal Group of the Year trophies in 2019, 2020 and 2021, along with a miscellany of other honors, all while bringing three new members on board — the clamor for new music has only grown since then.

To those that know Dave Brandwein as the frontman of Turkuaz, the indie-Americana/folk-rock music of Band For Sale might seem like a radical change. But to the multi-instrumentalist and producer, the upcoming album, Sleeping Sun, Waking Moon, represents a return to his musical roots.

“This album is who I’ve always been deep down,” Brandwein explains. “I grew up on The Beatles, Paul Simon, Jackson Browne, and the other classic sounds of the 60’s and 70’s… The truth is that Turkuaz was the departure.”

The Memphis-based rock band DIRTY STREETS release their new album, Who’s Gonna Love You - today. The trio spent the last two years of their pandemic-induced forced time off the road creating new music and finding a new home with the Los Angeles-based independent label, Blue Élan Records.
