The Northern Michigan woods once again hosts an end-of-summer weekend of music as the Hoxeyville Music Festival celebrates 20 years of conscious community August 19 – 21 in Wellston, MI. Artists announced in the initial festival lineup include Railroad Earth, The Infamous Stringdusters, Yonder Mountain String Band, Lindsay Lou, May Erlewine, Larry Keel Experience, Airborne or Aquatic, Full Cord, Arlo McKinley, Mark Lavengood Band, & Earth Radio.

After two long years of anxious hibernation, Oregon is beginning to wake up. Friends are hugging friends, smiles are being shared, and Northwest String Summit and Horning’s Hideout have announced that this year, the 20th anniversary of the music festival, will be moving ahead and will be the very last year for the event known as one of Oregon’s largest and most esteemed bluegrass music festivals. The lineup has been finalized and announced and the event sold out this week!

The title track of The Infamous Stringdusters’ new album Toward the Fray finds the song’s narrator making a decision to get involved, rather than just comment on the sidelines; a thread that weaves through the GRAMMY-nominated band’s entire release, directly reflecting a pivotal moment in its members’ collective consciousness. Toward the Fray is available today via Americana Vibes, click here to download and/or stream.

At heart, Jeremy Garrett is a bluegrass fiddler. Even with his explorations of the genre’s edges as a member of The Infamous Stringdusters — not to mention the boundary-breaking, technology-enhanced solo recordings and performances on his first two projects for Organic Records, Circles (2020) and Wanderer’s Compass (2021) — Garrett has always kept his bluegrass tools sharpened and at the ready.

It could be argued that the very best art is a reflection of the times—and reflect is exactly Jeremy Garrett, the Infamous Stringdusters’ fiddle player, did when he sat down to write “I Didn’t Know” with legendary bluegrass songsmith Jon Weisberger. “This song was written during the pandemic and just after George Floyd was murdered,” says Garrett.

The inaugural Hog Farm Hideaway Festival will take place June 10-12, 2022 at Black Oak Ranch in Laytonville, Ca. The String Cheese Incident will perform every night of the festival.

Americana/alt-country and roots-rock band, Greensky Bluegrass are kicking off 2022 with a brand new song, and the title track off their forthcoming album "Stress Dreams." Stress Dreams is due out on January 21 via Thirty Tigers.

"Stress Dreams" follows the releases of "Absence of Reason," "Grow Together,"  and "Monument."

Americana/alt-country and roots-rock band, Greensky Bluegrass are thrilled to share "Absence of Reason" off the band's forthcoming studio album Stress Dreams. WMOT - Middle Tennessee Public Radio and roots music discovery station premiered the track earlier this week calling the band "game changing." Stress Dreams is due out on January 21 via Thirty Tigers.

As the year starts to wind down, the opposite is true for Grammy-Award winning quintet The Infamous Stringdusters, who are dropping their forthcoming album Toward the Fray via Americana Vibes on February 18, 2022. They will be kicking off the year strong with a 3 night New Years Eve run in Richmond, Virginia, all the while celebrating last week’s Grammy nomination for Bluegrass Album of the Year for their 2021 album A Tribute To Bill Monroe.
