As a 30+ year Del McCoury Band member and a founding member of the Travelin’ McCourys, fiddle player Jason Carter has made a lot of friends and fans throughout his heavily-awarded career. But never before have all of his friends, from all of the years, joined Carter for his own solo album. That is, until now. Today, the man himself released Lowdown Hoedown, a thirteen-song collection featuring Carter’s own, rich vocals and red-hot fiddling backed up by a stunning lineup of musicians whom he calls friends. Imagine that Carter is throwing the pickin’ party of the century and we’re all invited to join in. The guests? Well, there’s Dierks Bentley, Aiofe O’Donovan, Vince Gill, Billy Strings, Sarah Jarosz, Jon Fishman, Marty Stuart, and that’s barely scratching the surface.
The multitude of guests speaks not only to Carter’s long-known stellar musicianship but also to his personality, lighting up the backstage hangs of music festivals nationwide. Now, fans far and wide can join in on the party by streaming or purchasing Lowdown Hoedown at this link.
Carter will be hitting the road in January for his first ever solo tour, with stops in Colorado, Kentucky, North Carolina, and more. A list of dates can be found below or at jasoncarterfiddle.com/tour.
