Bluegrass Music Profiles - In this Issue Jan/Feb 2008
Bluegrass Music Profiles Jan / Feb 2008The Jan/Feb issue of Bluegrass Music Profiles (BMP) features a cover story on The Infamous Stringdusters. Andy Hall discusses how the Stringdusters came to be, their newest member, the change in producers, how they signed with Sugar Hill, and where the group is headed.
“We want to develop our own audience the way that a band like Nickel Creek was able to develop their audience. There were people that liked bluegrass that came to their shows and there were those that didn’t know anything about bluegrass coming to their shows, but they were all Nickel Creek fans. We want people to be The Infamous Stringdusters fans with as many people in it as want to see us play.,” - Andy Hall
