After finally being in the same room for the first time in six months, the Infamous Stringdusters seized the moment for their revealing new album, Toward the Fray. Inspired by self-reflection and a strong sense of solidarity, the project documents the Grammy Award-winning group’s remarkable growth as instrumentalists as well as songwriters. Released on their own label, Americana Vibes, the collection also firmly establishes the band’s stature on the modern acoustic music landscape, where they’ve built a solid and enduring fan base among traditional and progressive audiences alike.
The five band members — Travis Book (bass), Andy Falco (guitar), Jeremy Garrett (fiddle), Andy Hall (Dobro), and Chris Pandolfi (banjo) — wrote the songs on Toward the Fray separately, sending simple phone demos to each other during lockdown. Fueled by friendship and a mastery of their instruments, the 13-track collection feels live, but not necessarily loose, due to a synergy that’s developed over the last 16 years of playing sheds, clubs, and festival stages across the country.
Molly Tuttle & Golden Highway
On her new album, City of Gold, Molly Tuttle, joined by her band Golden Highway, shares a batch of spellbinding stories that span time and place: wildly colorful fables populated by gold miners and fortune tellers, true-to-life tales of love and loss and a fast-changing world, and a reimagining of Alice in Wonderland set in the backwoods of Kentucky, to name just a few. The follow-up to 2022’s Crooked Tree—a widely lauded LP that won the Grammy Award for Best Bluegrass Album, with Tuttle earning a Best New Artist nomination—the Northern California-raised musician’s fourth full-length album brings those narratives to a resplendent form of bluegrass rooted in her virtuosic guitar playing.
Like Crooked Tree, whose accolades also include an International Folk Music Award for Album of the Year, City of Gold, is co-produced with bluegrass legend Jerry Douglas, showcasing the extraordinary musicianship that made Tuttle the first woman ever named Guitar Player of the Year by the International Bluegrass Music Association. But this time around, the Nashville- based singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist chose to record with her live band for the first time—a move that lends a potent new energy to her exquisitely crafted sound.
Throughout City of Gold, Tuttle and Golden Highway deliver the kind of high-energy and full-hearted songs primed for a joyously unified singing-along, an element that partly inspired the title to the album. “To me the words ‘City of Gold’ represent the community that the band and I have built with the people we get to play music for, and how it’s become like its own little world,” says Tuttle. “I wanted the album to celebrate that sense of community, because one of the things I love most about this music is how so much of the audience plays music as well. They inspire me to keep writing songs in the hopes that people will sing along and maybe play those songs with their friends—almost like we’re all a part of one great big family.”

Just another night in PDX … world-class bluegrass, two Grammy winners, one stage. Why not? TY
After spending the school year teaching in a public alternative Highschool School, serving our most at risk teens, and now teaching art to youth in NORCOR juvenile detention facility, I deserve and need an evening,, getting back to my bluegrass roots and nurturing my soul, restoring my good energy so I can do it all again on a month. Thank you!
Would like to see this show its going to be a good one.
Well, lemme tell ya somethin’. Bluegrass music, now that’s the real deal. Ain’t nothin’ like them sweet pickin’ sounds of a banjo and a fiddle. It gets in yer bones and makes yer feet start tappin’. Bluegrass is pure and simple, just like the folks who play it. It’s got that down-home feelin’, makes ya think of sittin’ on the porch, sippin’ sweet tea, and watchin’ the world go by. It’s music that tells a story, from the heart, full of soul and tradition. Ain’t no other music can make ya feel so alive and connected to yer roots.
I’d love to go to the show, b’c I love PDX Pipeline and tell everyone about it.
Yep…my overalls are freshly pressed and I’m ready to go!
This would be amazing… as my strings are in total disarray and in need of a thorough dusting!
Fabulous double bill, just the ticket for these hot summer nights!
Love me some pickin’ and grinning’
