Multiple IBMA Award-winners Special Consensus announce their upcoming 50th anniversary release with the lead single and title track "Been All Around This World" out today. The two-time GRAMMY nominees are celebrating their golden anniversary with the upcoming release of Been All Around this World, a stellar set of contemporary bluegrass featuring a cast of prior band members, due June 6th.

Compass Records artists won three awards last night at the 2023 IBMA Bluegrass Music Awards in Raleigh, NC.

Special Consensus gives listeners a sneak peak at their upcoming album GREAT BLUE NORTH set to be released May 12th, 2023. The two-time GRAMMY-nominees and six-time IBMA Award winners tribute our northern neighbors on the new project which showcases the band on thoughtfully curated set of well-known and lesser-known songs, all penned by Canadian songwriters.

Both my husband and I have volunteered at the Frankfort Bluegrass Festival (FBF) for a few years. We’ve helped with early morning set-up and merchandise sales. Volunteer work done, we’re free for music and dancing if the chance arises. But, this year hubby (Floyd) would be backpacking in Pennsylvania. Now was the perfect chance to volunteer with hospitality.
