With the release of “Let The Circle Be Broken,” a song Billboard stated as “essential listening from one of bluegrass music’s most-lauded groups,” the GRAMMY-nominated ensemble Sister Sadie broke new ground with a somber yet uplifting exorcism of the generational trauma of domestic abuse. Today, they share the official video for the song.

Two-time Grammy-nominated and multiple International Bluegrass Music Association award-winning sextet Sister Sadie returns with All Will Be Well, their boldest and most personal album to date, due out June 27, 2025, via Mountain Home Music Company. The all-female group continues to push the boundaries of bluegrass while remaining firmly rooted in its soul, navigating themes that range from heartbreak to healing.

“We didn’t go in to record a bluegrass meets 90’s country record,” says Deanie Richardson, award-winning fiddler and a founding member of twice GRAMMY-nominated Sister Sadie. “However, as the record progressed, it quickly turned into my most favorite record I’ve ever done. Each song is personal to us all.”

As bluegrass aficionados know, the only thing better than hot fiddle playing is hot fiddle playing times two. Twin fiddles have played a prominent role in the genre since the mid 1950s, when artists like Bill Monroe and Mac Wiseman first enlivened their recordings with the distinctive sound.  

Anticipation has been running high since the announcement in February that acclaimed banjo player and singer Gena Britt of the GRAMMY-nominated ensemble Sister Sadie had been signed to pre-eminent bluegrass label, Mountain Home Music Company. Now, the veteran artist is releasing her first single for the label, a new rendition of an under-appreciated favorite that, like Britt herself, brings together past and present in the service of a compelling musical vision.    

Mountain Home Music Company and its sister imprint Organic Records have once again demonstrated their depth and diversity, fielding an impressive slate of recordings for consideration on this year’s first-round ballots. From hard-driving instrumentals and soaring bluegrass anthems to heartfelt gospel offerings, the labels’ roster underscores their shared commitment to delivering the very best in contemporary roots music.

Old Settler’s Music Festival returns for its 38th year from April 24-27, 2025, promising another unforgettable weekend of music, community, and camping just 45 minutes south of Austin in Dale, Texas. A cherished tradition in the heart of Central Texas, the festival continues to celebrate the best in Americana, roots, and bluegrass with an incredible lineup of national touring artists, engaging workshops, family-friendly fun, and its signature campground camaraderie.

In a mostly male genre still known as much for its reticence about contemporary subjects as for its powerful harmonies and virtuosic picking, bluegrass music’s Sister Sadie have stood out ever since the all-female group’s founding more than a dozen years ago.

Earl Scruggs Music Festival returns to Mill Spring, NC on August 29-31, 2025 for its 4th annual event at Tryon International Equestrian Center (Tryon International). Headlining this year’s lineup is 27-time GRAMMY winner Alison Krauss & Union Station Featuring Jerry Douglas, joined by Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Del McCoury Band, Sam Bush, Watchhouse, The Wood Brothers, The War And Treaty, The Earls of Leicester, Sierra Hull, and many more.

“‘Do What You Want’ was a really fun song to write,” says Nashville’s hit-penning songwriter and independent artist Erin Enderlin. She’s talking about award-winning, female-forward sextet Sister Sadie’s new single, a country waltz that’s a sizable, yet characteristic change of pace from its predecessor, the bluegrass-tinged love song, “If I Don’t Have You.”  “We’re all just tiny dots on a planet, spinning around a sun, in a gigantic galaxy for a tiny blip of time.
