SURPRISE! While it doesn't hit all the streamers until Thursday (which we just announced on Chris Darlin's "Us Folk" on WMPG FM to promote The 19th WMPG Bluegrass Spectacular), because it's Bandcamp Friday, we've decided to drop you loyal fans an early listen of our BRAND-NEW LIVE EP!

https://worldfamousgrassholes.bandcamp.com/album/live-all-roads-festival

In the tradition of the Seldom Scene's "Live at the Cellar Door" and other great live bluegrass albums, this captures us World Famous Grassholes in all of our live-performance glory, in front of a truly great crowd at All Roads Music Festival this past May.

"Live @ All Roads Festival" is six songs you've heard before as studio recordings, but with all of the joy of our improvised live performance and bracketed by witty banter (which is, of course, our stock in trade). Please take a listen, share it with your friends, and come out and see us sometime!
