Three of the 5-string banjo’s leading ladies: Kristin Scott Benson, Gena Britt, and Alison Brown, team up for a jaw-dropping version of the classic Ralph Stanley instrumental “Ralph’s Banjo Special.” The track is a tantalizing teaser for the upcoming star-studded 80th Anniversary Stanley Brothers Tribute album to be released on Compass Records later this year.

Bluegrass Music TV and Man-Do-Lin Productions are pleased to announce their association with producers of Bluegrass Country Soul, Inc. which will bring the legendary live recording on video to the Country Road TV Network and for the first time will make the music available for Bluegrass music fans and all music lovers of traditional music to enjoy on audio digital streaming via Syntax Creative.

Critically-acclaimed recording artist Nathan Stanley is excited for the release of his breathtaking new Country single, “Sandy Ridge Wind” (download and/or stream it HERE). Its lyrics reminisce on relatives of the iconic family who have passed, including the Dove winner’s Grandfather Dr. Ralph Stanley. It’s the lead single from a very special collection dropping this spring called Nathan Stanley Live!

Earlier this month the announcement was made for the Bluegrass Music TV (BGM-TV) partnership between video producer and record executive Sammy Passamano, III and Country & Bluegrass legend / video producer Ronnie Reno. 

It takes a hell of a lot to get me to brave the absolute sardine-pack that is a sold-out Ogden Theatre in Denver for 3 consecutive nights.
