GRAMMY® Award-winning, IBMA Award-winning, and Billboard chart-topping progressive bluegrass band The Infamous Stringdusters return with their fourth offering off of their upcoming album 20/20, “Dancing on the Moon,” available now via Americana Vibes. Following the success of “Dead Man Walking,” named one of Billboard’s 5 Best New Country Songs, and an aggressive tour schedule across the U.S. throughout 2025, the band continues to push the boundaries of modern bluegrass with a carefree, mid-tempo declaration of celebrating a new connection and the euphoric feeling of surrendering to possibility.

Lyrically, “Dancing on the Moon” taps into a sense of transcendence and emotional escape, with wordplay speaking to sparks of clarity and luminescence. The second verse arrives into shared ascent as the subject echoes sentiments of acknowledging the chemistry and stepping into cosmic realms of hope, imagination, and joy.

She said all my life I’ve waited for a chance to fly…
She took my hand, said let’s take a trip to the promised land…
We lift our feet so high off the ground…
Just like a dream will never come back down…

“We co-wrote this song with two of our favorite songwriters, Jon Weisberger and Josh Shilling,” says vocalist and fiddle player Jeremy Garrett. “It’s a light-hearted song about falling in love.”

The single release continues to build momentum toward The Infamous Stringdusters’ landmark 20th studio album, 20/20 (Americana Vibes), arriving February 13, 2026.

To celebrate 20 years since their inception, the ground-breaking, GRAMMY-winning ensemble whose tone and swagger meld acoustic majesty with a full-blown rock show attitude mark this important milestone with the release of 20/20.

Twenty brand new songs and endless miles in pursuit of a dream. Formed in Nashville in the early 2000s, while all performing as sidemen with stalwarts of the bluegrass community, soaking up every influence like musical sponges, their friendships and desire to create their own music and master their own destiny inevitably led to their formation.

Alongside Chris Pandolfi (banjo), Travis Book (double bass), Jeremy Garrett (fiddle), Andy Hall (dobro), and Andy Falco (guitar), they purposely and fearlessly blur the boundaries between bluegrass, Americana, country, and indie-folk.

At its core, 20/20 marks an important milestone for the group, who happily exemplify sonic exploration and endless curiosity while maintaining a deep respect for musical tradition, under the bright stage lights or amid a recording session.
