All Together Now Presents: The Infamous Stringdusters Live at From the Earth Brewing Company's Back Porch Concert Series!
It’s been 20 years since the inception of The Infamous Stringdusters, the Grammy Award winning ensemble whose tone and swagger meld acoustic majesty with a full-blown rock show attitude.
To celebrate, the groundbreaking jam-grass quintet is releasing 20/20. Twenty brand new songs for twenty years. The endless miles in pursuit of a dream. The surreal, whirlwind shows of transcendence and lore. The legacy that has become truly infamous.
“We’ve been around for 20 years, and I feel like we’re putting more into our music — both writing and the live shows — than we ever have,” says banjoist Chris Pandolfi. “And the reality is, that you do need to step a little harder on the gas to get the same results — it takes real intention.”
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 in the midst of a recording session.
“We’ve always been very intentional in how we wanted our show to sound and to look,” according to bassist Travis Book “And, 20 years later, we’re still distilling the best elements of what we all bring to the band.”
Alongside Pandolfi and Book, Jeremy Garrett (fiddle), Andy Hall (dobro), Andy Falco (guitar) purposely and fearlessly blur the boundaries between bluegrass, Americana, country, and indie-folk.
“Bluegrass music brought us together in the first place,” says Jeremy Garrett. “And one of the big things that propels us forward is that everyone keeps pushing so hard — it keeps me incredibly motivated.”
“The creativity and discovery is never-ending,” dobroist Andy Hall adds. “If you keep the art, the music, your instrument and playing in focus, it’s infinitely-deep.”
The idea for the Dusters coalesced in Nashville in the early 2000s when the members were performing as side-men with stalwarts of the bluegrass community. Their friendships and desire to create their own music and master their own destiny inevitably led to the formation of The Infamous Stringdusters.
Even then, they sought to ignite something fresh within the “high lonesome sounds” pioneered by the “Father of Bluegrass,” Bill Monroe. And just like today, the early intent was to present something new and different.
“Bluegrass can sometimes be a little confusing,” Pandolfi says. “Because what’s coming out of the instruments has the energy of rock-n-roll, but guys are just standing there [onstage] in suits. When we came to [bluegrass], we loved the music, but the vibe wasn’t representative of who we were.”
The Dusters envisioned a crossroads where bluegrass instrumentation and vocal harmony met frenzied stage energy and awe-inspiring production. “It took a few years and some experience to let all of those things come together,” Pandolfi says. “We started to tease these things out of the music, but also out of the show, the production, and our personality.”
Each member remains a musical sponge, constantly bringing new influences back into the fold. All are involved in an array of solo projects outside of the band. Those sounds and experiences merge to form the Dusters’ signature sound with 20/20 offering the purest distillation of that experimentation and precision.
"When those individual efforts come back together in the band, it creates a really powerful synergy," Hall says. "Not only has the band evolved, but individually, I see every band member fully dedicated to their musical endeavors. All of the creative elements have gotten deeper."
“Life moves on, like our song says,” Andy Falco reminds us, “But we’re always taking what we’ve learned and what we’re experiencing and we put that into the music and the shows. Before we go onstage I like to tell the band ‘remember the joy,’ and we are all still incredibly grateful for the opportunity to make this music with each other”

Shadowgrass
When their instrumental prowess earned them a vast following on social media, childhood friends turned all-star act Shadowgrass found sudden success. But as a young band, the expectations that went along with a large audience proved daunting. “We felt a lot of pressure to make something uniquely us, because we had such a big following, and we felt that they deserved more than what we had given them as of yet.” explains the band. The group dug deep into their own musicality, and tried to block out the noise for their sophomore release All That Will (release date: Oct 4, 2024). “It turned out that dropping those self-imposed expectations and just writing/making music for our own enjoyment was the key to finding our collective voice and making a record we are all proud of.”
Shadowgrass began in 2014 when Clay Russell (Banjo), Luke Morris (Mandolin), Kyser George (Guitar) were jamming at the Grayson County Fiddler’s Convention in Elk Creek, VA. Sometime before their first real show, the name Shadowgrass was suggested simply because they thought it sounded “cool”. Kyser, Clay, and Luke were 9, 13, and 14 years old at the time. Now in their early twenties, their influences and listening habits have changed drastically, but the group has always grown in the same direction musically. They have welcomed fiddle player Madison Morris, who also lends vocals and songwriting prowess, and bass player Evan Campfield. Luke and Madison trade off lead vocals, and harmonies seamlessly with one another. Their commitment to and keen interest in songwriting brings additional dimensions to the band, allowing the group to appeal to listeners outside of the expected jam-band community.
As a very young band that has already been playing together for a decade, Shadowgrass has a unique bond. “We’ve grown up together and have watched each other evolve into the people we are today”, they say. “It sounds cliche but we definitely act more like siblings than bandmates”. On All That Will, the group explores themes of anxiety and uncertainty, and questioning the people they want to become. Luckily, they’ve had each other to share these experiences with, and it seems that their companionship has only pushed their artistic and musical abilities to new heights.
