The Chapin Sisters make you long to return to a place you may have never been before.
 
“Bergen Street” is the new single (March 31, Lake Bottom Records) from Abigail and Lily Chapin, the sibling members of what looks like a folk music dynasty, but in reality, is a proud family that has been making music for decades in the most humble of traditions.
 

Even the most storied performing career must eventually come to an end, and for The Primitive Quartet — for more than half a century, faithful practitioners of an acoustic musical ministry rooted in the traditional sounds of Appalachian mountain churches and communities — that time has finally come.

Blue Élan Records, in collaboration with KZZ Music, have once again joined in partnership with the Alliance for Children's Rights to benefit this worthwhile organization. Released today, PRECIOUS TO ME, will bring awareness to a shared vision in which all children have safe permanent families with the support they need to thrive. All proceeds from the album will directly benefit The Alliance.

It’s been a long time since listeners have heard new music from Mountain Home Music Company’s The Cleverlys, but the irrepressible bluegrass-based humorists are finally back — and with a bang at that, dropping not one, but two new singles that will delight their fans and likely make them some new ones, too.

Chicago based band Henhouse Prowlers release their first single, "My Little Flower" from their album Lead and Iron (September). The song premiered Tuesday morning on Smoked Country Jam with Michelle Lee on WOBL Gold Country and Bluegrass Today premiered the accompanying music video.

For their first single following their run of eight No. 1 songs, Chris Jones & The Night Drivers released “The Price Of Falling,” an energetic slice of straight-up bluegrass. Now, that song has followed suit and reached the No. 1 spot itself on Bluegrass Today, the same day the band premiered their music video filmed in Asheville, North Carolina.
