The 20 year wait is finally over! ‘Cabin In The Hills’ by Broke Mountain Bluegrass Band is finally available digitally everywhere you find your music.
🎧 - https://brokemountain.ffm.to/cabininthehills
Two decades ago, Broke Mountain Bluegrass Band emerged as a seminal force, igniting the careers of talents associated with renowned acts such as Greensky Bluegrass (Anders Beck), The Infamous Stringdusters (Travis Book), Leftover Salmon (Andy Thorn Music), and the Jon Stickley Trio (Jon Stickley). Now, they revisit the essence of their formative years with the 20th-anniversary release of Cabin in the Hills, their singular album, recorded by former Ralph Stanley fiddler Dewey Brown. Dubbed as a “Reverse Super Group”, this release captures the invincibility of youth and the essence of a band destined for greatness, acknowledging the birth of a musical entity that indelibly shaped the trajectory of contemporary bluegrass music. Today, the album is available digitally, for the first time ever, via Americana Vibes.
Travis Book new single “Afraid of Love” is out now via Americana Vibes.
“When I wrote Afraid of Love I was falling in love. It came as a surprise and I was scared that I wasn’t ready, that I hadn’t worked on myself and experienced the growth that I thought I needed to do. I got this melody in my head playing electric guitar one night and kinda thought about what a couple of my favorite songwriters would do.” -Travis Book

The Travis Book Happy Hour featuring Alexa Rose @ The Grey Eagle 8-24-2022
The Travis Book Happy Hour is a 90 minute variety show hosted by Travis Book; bassist, songwriter, and vocalist in the Grammy Award winning bluegrass band, The Infamous Stringdusters, streaming live from the historic Grey Eagle in Asheville, NC. Born from his desire to bring musicians and friends together for collaboration and conversation, Travis launched the series in the summer of 2020 amidst the uncertainty of the Covid-19 crisis and a country divided. Faced with a cascade of existential questions about the nature of life and of being, Travis sought an outlet for inquiry, and individuals to help him dig deeper into what it means to be a musician and a creative being in the context of an ever-changing world. Unique, spontaneous musical collaboration with friends and contemporaries leads to singular moments of harmony and the occasional musical train-wreck… The Travis Book Happy Hour is his attempt to shine light into the darkest corners of our lives; to dive deep into the nature of our being and emerge bathed in the love, happiness, grace, and gratitude that’s available to us all, and hopefully, to make some beautiful, meaningful music along the way.

The Travis Book Happy Hour ft Cris Jacobs @ The Grey Eagle 6-22-2022
The Travis Book Happy Hour is a 90 minute variety show hosted by Travis Book; bassist, songwriter, and vocalist in the Grammy Award winning bluegrass band, The Infamous Stringdusters, streaming live from the historic Grey Eagle in Asheville, NC.
CRIS JACOBS - When Cris Jacobs began dreaming about a follow-up to his critically acclaimed 2016 album Dust to Gold, he realized early on he’d have to do things differently this time around. His life had changed drastically since writing those songs: he’d toured extensively and attracted a legion of new, devoted fans; he’d come off the road into a world, with its divisive rhetoric and troubling headlines, he no longer recognized; and, most importantly, he’d gotten married and had his first child. Things had changed, and Jacobs had, too.
Color Where You Are is the work of an artist at an exciting new stage in his life and career, ready to use his talents to share a little beauty with the loved ones and fans who have already given so much to him. The title nods to Jacobs’ experience writing the album, which, as he puts it, he had to do “between tours, coming home, changing diapers, fixing things around the house…. You name it.” He no longer had the luxury of waiting for inspiration to strike, so he colored where he was.
“It was a new discipline for me and a new level of focus that I think brought out the best work,” he explains. “I feel like I grew up a little bit. There are people in my life who I truly care about and things in the world I feel deeply about. That really pushed me in a stronger direction and forced me to feel things on an honest level.”

Travis Book Happy Hour featuring Graham Sharp of Steep Canyon Rangers @ Grey Eagle 6-8-2022
This week The Happy Hour welcomes Graham Sharp of Steep Canyon Rangers.
The Travis Book Happy Hour is a 90 minute variety show hosted by Travis Book; bassist, songwriter, and vocalist in the Grammy Award winning bluegrass band, The Infamous Stringdusters, streaming live from the historic Grey Eagle in Asheville, NC.
Graham Sharp -I've been so lucky to spend the last 20 years making music with my brothers in Steep Canyon Rangers. Their vision and support has allowed me to become the songwriter I am today, no doubt. The title of my new album, Truer Picture, may be misleading, because I feel like there's nothing false about the 16 or so albums we've made together. But time apart, a year and counting now, has given me the opportunity to approach the music differently. The influences you may hear on this album have not been masked or papered over; the songs are presented as straightforward as can be....after we made and were listening back I realized there are almost no instrumental solos on the album. This is almost unthinkable for someone who has made his musical career as a banjo player. But I hope you'll enjoy something bit different, a bit familiar.

TIM O'BRIEN
Born in Wheeling, West Virginia on March 16, 1954, Grammy winning singer songwriter and multi instrumentalist Tim O’Brien grew up singing in church and in school, and after seeing Doc Watson on TV, became a lifelong devotee of old time and bluegrass music. Tim first toured nationally with Colorado bluegrass band Hot Rize, which formed in 1978. Kathy Mattea scored a country hit with his song “Walk The Way The Wind Blows” in 1986, and soon more artists like Nickel Creek and Garth Brooks covered his songs. Over the years, Tim has collaborated with his sister Mollie O’Brien, songwriter Darrell Scott, and noted old time musician Dirk Powell, as well as with Steve Earle, Bill Frisell, Mark Knopfler, Steve Martin, and Sturgill Simpson.
