. The new Hot Club Sandwich recording,
entitled "And If Only," features an appearance by the legendary
Dan Hicks. It's been steadily climbing the Jazz and Americana charts
around North America, so keep your ears open for it on the radio. We'll also be appearing on two Says You programs on NPR stations nationwide sometime in August.

A new recording entitled Mandomorphasis 2010 features Orville Johnson, Michael Connolly, David Tiller, Pete Frostic and Adam Larrabee, produced by Scott Schaffer. The tunes are original and spontaneous, from swing and bluegrass to free improvisations. It's nice someone would try to describe it with words. It even appeared in the top 30 of the jam band charts.

I've been playing a bunch with Jakob Breitbach on fiddle, Jo Jo Mascorella on drums an Zeke Wakefield on bass and guitars. Combining this explosive line-up with a bunch of new songs is tons of fun. Check out the new tunes on the "listen" page.

Congrats to Nick McMillian, bassist with North Carolina based Kelley and the Cowboys who just placed first in the 75th Galax Fiddle Contest. Listen to some of the recording we made in Lousiana here. The new record, "What this Whole World Needs," is set to be released this month!
