Infamous Stringdusters Studio Special

I'm soooo excited to present our Studio Special with the Infamous Stringdusters this week. It premieres Friday morning at 8:00 ET.

As you're aware if you listened to the Track-By-Track we did with these guys a few weeks ago, their newest CD, The Infamous Stringdusters, is a masterpiece of instrumental excellence and stunning vocals and harmony. On this new show (which we recorded at the same time we did the TBT, but have been holding until now), they perform mostly songs from the new project. The results are first-rate.

Besides making great records, these guys are simply amazing. When we recorded the Studio Special you'll hear this week, we may as well have done it live. There were no retakes, false starts, re-tuning--they performed confidently and perfectly. What's more, from a quality standpoint, I'd put their performances on this show up against any show or recording they've ever done. The show ran for more than an hour and fifteen minutes (one of the longest we've done) and I believe these guys could have gone on all day.

Whether you're a staunch traditionalist or lean toward the more progressive sounds, you can't help but appreciate music of this caliber. The Stringdusters, of course, provide a good mix of both tradition and innovation.

As always, if you can't make the Friday broadcast, there will be plenty of other opportunities for you to hear the program. Here's the complete list of broadcast times: Studio Special Air Times.

And don't miss our show with the Steep Canyon Rangers, which airs one more time tomorrow [Thursday] at 3 PM ET. It, too, is a new show in the series and is excellent. I highly recommend it.
