Signed to Dualtone Records, the album captures their electrifying live energy and blends traditional bluegrass with jamgrass and psychedelic flair, earning comparisons to Billy Strings, who called their guitarist “rude” for being so damn good. The band, winners of IBMA Momentum Band of the Year and Saving Country Music’s Breakout Artist of the Year, also boasts a killer EP preview and top-tier production from Vance Powell (Chris Stapleton) plus guest stars like Michael Cleveland and Anders Beck. This is the moment they’ve been building toward—and it’s pure fire. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
