The Infamous Stringdust​ers Release New Album, Announce Fall Tour and NYE Plans

Fresh off a successful third installment of their festival - simply dubbed The Festy, and an appearance at the recent International Bluegrass Awards, The Infamous Stringdusters announced a massive fall tour in support of their latest studio release, the double-disc album, Silver Sky-Deluxe Edition.

Pioneers of the “new-grass” sound, the Infamous Stringdusters continue to innovate while paying homage to the traditions of Americana. The band, who recently relocated from Nashville, TN to their new home in Charlottesville, VA, has amassed a loyal following of fans based on their risk-taking and innovative approach to traditional bluegrass. This holds true on Silver Sky as the band paired up with an unlikely studio partner – hip-hop producer Billy Hume (Ludacris, Nas). Silver Sky (first released in March of this year) finds The Infamous Stringdusters’ powerful rhythms and vocal melodies at the forefront of the music. Paired with We’ll Do It Live – a seamless live recording culled from four epic 2011 performances - Silver Sky-Deluxe Edition eloquently demonstrates a band whose artistic voice has fully emerged, and offers a riveting glimpse of just how, and where, The Infamous Stringdusters are leading the bluegrass revolution.
