Stay tuned!

We have now completed a new recording with Alison Brown once again producing (we are so fortunate) and many SC alums joining us for this anniversary Compass Release. Yahoo!
AND NOW: we are heading to Ireland/UK for our usual biannual tour, but this time celebrating the Special C 50th Anniversary as a touring and recording bluegrass band! We are soooo looking forward to seeing so many friends that we have made since we began going over in the mid-1990s. The tour begins next week on January 16 and end on February 9. Yahoo again!
