The Infamous Stringdusters, a six-piece string band based in Nashville, Tenn., will perform at Canyons in Blowing Rock this Saturday, January 23, at 10:00 p.m. The cover is $10.
Comprised of Andy Hall on dobro, Andy Falco on guitar, Chris Pandolfi on banjo, Jeremy Garrett on fiddle, Jesse Cobb on mandolin and Travis Book on upright bass, the members’ backgrounds range from training in classical and jazz to hard rock to stints backing country legends and high lonesome heroes, according to a press release.
When the group first emerged in 2007, it received immediate accolades—International Bluegrass Music Association awards and a chart-topping debut record.
At first, the group was viewed as a collection of Nashville’s most sought-after young guns getting together for a super jam, but the band has since become a more cohesive musical force, the press release said.
“Now we have a band sound,” Hall said in the press release. “There’s new maturity and [an] element of trust that’s taken us beyond the introverted focus of the individual members. We’re writing music together, and that translates to a better listener experience.”
The band recently recorded its third album for Sugar Hill Records, which is scheduled to be released in spring 2010.
