Song Review: The Infamous Stringdusters - “Once You’re Gone” (Live, Jan. 11, 2025)

The Infamous Stringdusters really should be more famous.

In less that three minutes of “Once You’re Gone,” as captured on professional video Jan. 11 in Colorado, the quintet makes peace with a tough breakup; demonstrates pristine, three-part harmony; packs in guitar, Dobro and banjo solos; and plays ensemble bluegrass music as tight as anyone can.

It’s therefore a mystery why the ’Dusters aren’t mentioned among the Billy Stringes and Molly Tuttles of the world. Sure, they’re Infamous, but the Stringdusters deserve fame alongside the infamy.

Celebrating Thanksgiving with Bluegrass Harmony

Thanksgiving is a time for gratitude, family, and reflection, and what better way to enhance this festive spirit than with the warm sounds of bluegrass music? Rooted in American history, bluegrass embodies the essence of community and storytelling, making it the perfect soundtrack for this holiday.

Imagine gathering around the dinner table, the aroma of roasted turkey and pumpkin pie wafting in the air, as the lively strumming of banjos and the sweet tones of a fiddle fill the room. Bluegrass, with its rich harmonies and upbeat rhythms, invites everyone to share their stories and express their thanks. It’s a genre that celebrates life’s simple joys, much like the Thanksgiving tradition itself.

Whether it’s classic songs like “Molly and Tenbrooks” or modern renditions from artists like The Infamous Stringdusters, bluegrass can elevate your Thanksgiving gathering. So, this year, as you carve the turkey and raise a glass, let the vibrant notes of bluegrass music carry your hearts and minds to a place of gratitude and connection.

Happy Thanksgiving! Let the music play and the memories unfold.

Song Review: The Infamous Stringdusters - “Possum”

Call it the Infamous Phish-dusters.

Otherwise known as the Stringdusters, the Infamous bluegrass quintet makes Phish’s “Possum” sound even more like the Grateful Dead’s “Cumberland Blues” as it announces its Undercover, Vol. 3 EP.

And it works out quite well - much better than the band’s previously released remake of Harry Styles’ “As it Was” - with strong harmonies and a swirl of banjo, fiddle, Dobro, guitar and bass smoothing out the requisite roadkill silliness.

Out Nov. 13, Undercover 3 also includes the ’Dusters’ takes on the Grateful Dead’s “Touch of Grey,” Avicii’s “Wake Me Up,” the Steve Miller Band’s “Fly Like an Eagle” and ZZ Top’s “Sharped Dress Man.”

“You are gonna want to hear what these songs sound like bluegrass-style,” the band said in a statement.

The Evolution of Bluegrass Music: From Roots to Contemporary Sounds

Bluegrass music, with its lively rhythms and soulful melodies, has a rich history that has evolved significantly over the decades. Born in the Appalachian region of the United States, bluegrass blends traditional folk, country, and jazz elements, creating a distinctive sound. In this post, we’ll explore its origins, key influences, and modern adaptations.

Emerging in the 1940s, bluegrass was pioneered by Bill Monroe and his Blue Grass Boys. Monroe's unique blend of traditional folk tunes and jazz set the foundation for bluegrass, establishing the signature sound with instruments like the mandolin, banjo, upright bass, and fiddle.

The Great Migration played a critical role in shaping bluegrass, as African American musicians infused new sounds into traditional folk music. The rise of the Grand Ole Opry and radio broadcasts helped popularize bluegrass, reaching a wider audience and allowing the genre to flourish.

The 1950s and 1960s saw artists like Flatt and Scruggs innovate the genre with vocal harmonies and storytelling lyrics. Songs such as "The Beverly Hillbillies Theme" and “Foggy Mountain Breakdown” bridged the gap between traditional sounds and popular appeal, solidifying bluegrass’s place in American music history.

In the late 20th and early 21st centuries, bluegrass artists began blending the genre with rock, pop, and even hip-hop. Bands like Nickel Creek and the Infamous Stringdusters kept the genre fresh and relevant, attracting younger listeners while honoring its roots.

Today, bluegrass has become a global phenomenon. International artists and festivals celebrate the genre worldwide, showcasing how it has transcended geographical boundaries. Major events like MerleFest and the Telluride Bluegrass Festival draw thousands, uniting generations through music.

Bluegrass music reflects the dynamic nature of cultural evolution, continuously blending history with innovation. As it evolves, its future remains bright, with new generations of fans and artists keeping its spirit alive.

Are you a long-time bluegrass enthusiast or new to the genre? Share your favorite songs (like Firefly's Flicker) or artists in the comments below, and let’s celebrate this remarkable genre together!

The Infamous Stringdusters & Leftover Salmon w/ The Kitchen Dwellers Live at The Eastern

On December 5th, 2023, Leftover Salmon announced via their social media channels that they would join their good pals The Infamous Stringdusters with special guests The Kitchen Dwellers during two very special shows: April 25th, 2024 at The Eastern in Atlanta, GA. and April 26th, 2024 at The Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, TN. Lucky for this Concerthopper, Atlanta made the cut on this special two-date throw-down with Leftover Salmon, The Infamous Stringdusters, and The Kitchen Dwellers. I know that I may cover a lot of metal bands for Concerthopper because that is what I grew up listening to. But bluegrass/Americana was also mixed in there for good measure as I was growing up.

Staring the night off, The Kitchen Dwellers made a statement with a phenomenal set chock full of some of the best hits from their discography. The Kitchen Dwellers are a progressive bluegrass/jam grass/Galaxy Grass band based out of Bozeman, MT. that has been active since 2010. Currently, The Kitchen Dwellers consists of Torrin Daniels (banjo), Shawn Swain (mandolin), Joe Funk (upright bass), and Max Davies (acoustic guitar). They have released five (5) LPs with Seven Devils being the most current release. I first saw The Kitchen Dwellers last year at Hulaween and fell in love with their sound.

Their style of Galaxy Grass is psychedelic bluegrass mixed with a progressive bluegrass style that always equals a great time. And this evening at The Eastern was no exception as I saw everyone dancing and singing along to The Kitchen Dwellers’ epic performance. If you are a bluegrass/Americana music fan, I recommend you check out The Kitchen Dwellers and listen to them as soon as possible.

Check out The Kitchen Dwellers’ setlist from The Eastern (04/25/2024) below:

·         “Smokestack”>

·         “Pendulum”

·         “June Apple”

·         “Wind Bitten”

·         “Drop Tine”>

·         “Drowning (…Again)”

·         “New Horizons”

Check out their latest album plus more at The Kitchen Dweller’s Official Bandcamp page today! You can also catch The Kitchen Dwellers on tour in 2024 by following this link to their tour page.

I.C.Y.M.I. You can also check out Chris Griffy’s review of The Kitchen Dwellers' latest LP, Seven Devils, exclusively published by Concerthopper.com.

Leftover Salmon is a progressive bluegrass/jam band/Zydeco/country band from Boulder, CO. formed in 1989. Leftover Salmon consists of Vince Herman (vocals/guitar/washboard), Drew Emmitt (vocals/mandolin/fiddle/electric guitar), Greg Garrison (vocals/bass), Andy Thorn (banjo/electric banjo/vocals), Alwyn Robinson (drums/vocals), and Jay Sterling (keyboard/dobro). Herman and Emmitt are founding members of Leftover Salmon and have also played together in another band named Left Hand String Band. Leftover Salmon has released ten (10) LPs, one (1) Live album, and one (1) compilation with their latest release entitled Grass Roots (released May 19, 2023).

The crowd let Leftover Salmon know how excited they were as soon as the band took the stage with a ferocious cheer. I put Leftover Salmon up there with the likes of The String Cheese Incident and Greensky Bluegrass regarding how well they jam during their performances. They have been on my rotation for ages now and I do not see them getting removed anytime soon. Especially after getting to witness Leftover Salmon cover not one but two of my favorite artists: George Michael and The Allman Brothers Band.

The crowd was eager to join in as Leftover Salmon performed a flawless cover of “Freedom ’90” by the late George Michael. I am not going to lie, I was also part of the eager crowd ready to join in on the fun being had by the band. Also, Leftover Salmon performed a tribute for the late Dickey Betts by performing “Sweet Melissa”. Seeing Leftover Salmon smile and laugh while they performed their set makes my heart happy because I know that they are just as jovial as we are standing in the crowd. Artists who care about the music and show it while on stage are something that you do not see every day. And when you do, those are the artists that stick with you as you continue this journey, we call life.

 Check out this amazing setlist from Leftover Salmon at The Eastern (04/25/2024) in Atlanta, GA.

·         “Boogie Grass Band”

·         “Liza”

·         “Doin’ My Time”

·         “Brand New God”

The Infamous Stringdusters is a Grammy award-winning progressive bluegrass/folk/country/jam band from Nashville, TN that first appeared back in 2006. The Infamous Stringdusters consists of Andy Hall (dobro), Andy Falco (guitar), Chris Pandolfi (banjo), Jeremy Garrett (fiddle), and Travis Book (double bass). They have released thirteen (13) LPs, four (4) EPs, one (1) Live album, and several singles over the years. Their latest release is entitled A Tribute to Flatt & Scruggs and is a fitting tribute to the kings of bluegrass music Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs. 

Closing out the evening, The Infamous Stringdusters came on stage to the crowd's roar at The Eastern this Thursday evening. After being warmed up by both The Kitchen Dwellers and Leftover Salmon, you could see the pure joy in the crowd’s faces as The Infamous Stringdusters began their set. Their electrifying setlist covered songs from their nearly two-decade storied career and even a few exciting covers to close the night. I can only imagine the fun and excitement the good folks attending the following night’s event at The Ryman felt seeing this incredible display of musicianship by all three bands.

The Infamous Stringdusters Greenfield Lake Amphitheater Wilmington Apr 18-2024 poster t-shirt, hoodie, tank top, longsleeve

Of course, this isn’t the The Infamous Stringdusters Greenfield Lake Amphitheater Wilmington Apr 18-2024 poster t-shirt Besides,I will do this bride’s look — it’s Zendaya and Law Roach’s clever follow-up contrasting the “default way of dressing” during the Challenger press conference. The pair worked together to bring tennis sensation Zendaya’s character, coach Tashi Duncan, to the carpet in the form of sports-inspired outfits. Some Grand Slam tournaments have featured obvious but classy tennis references (like tonight’s), while others have been more objectifying.

For the The Infamous Stringdusters Greenfield Lake Amphitheater Wilmington Apr 18-2024 poster t-shirt Besides,I will do this official outings, Zendaya chose a series of optical white outfits that may have been inspired by Wimbledon’s all-white dress code (and the popularity of white outfits in tennis speaking shared). Looks range from minimalist suits by Calvin Klein in Rome to Sophisticated Dresses by Louis Vuitton in Paris. So far, the main exception came at the tour’s first stop, when Zendaya wore a chic green Loewe dress to the premiere in Sydney, Australia. (Jonathan Anderson, Loewe’s creative director, also designs clothes for the public.)
