“Aesop Mountain” is out today! Stream it wherever you get your music! I couldn’t believe it, last year, when people all over the world started asking me about this tune. (Of course, Foxy was the real star of that viral video, but some people were curious about the banjo music, too.) It was just something I made up on the spot for the fox. But thanks to all your interest, I recorded it, along with my other fox-inspired tunes. Then things got even more exciting when our friend @morganmandala agreed to do the cover art! Isn’t this artwork incredible? We love how she captured the spirit of our hillside. (She gets it — she lives nearby, and has fox friends of her own.) Pre-sales available now! (Full album will be released in September.) Head to my website to pre-order a signed vinyl or CD. The album includes five full-band tunes, two duets with Erik Deutsch, and eight solo numbers.

Huge thanks to @flatpicktyler , @greggarrisonbass and @erikdeutsch for playing on the album.

Up with the sun today and it was perfect up on the hill! Tough to make it up for sunrise this time of year. It’s before 6 AM and just getting earlier as we approach the summer solstice. But always worth it! Two feet of snow sure melted fast! Now all that water is making everything so green. 🌄🪕🌱

Snow!! On May 5th. They’re calling for 1 to 2 feet in the foothills and boy do we need it! Luckily we’ve been too busy to take our snow tires off. How bout y’all?! Stay safe out there. And see you at @etown_radio Wednesday night. #banjo #snow #colorado #boulder
Excited to return to @etown_radio hall in Boulder one week from today (May 6) with my good buddy @erikdeutsch ! We only get to play together a few times a year so don’t miss it if you’re in the area. Stay tuned for a new recording as well. Tickets available at etown.org.
Sure have been traveling the last few days! From Hawaii, to Colorado, to New Orleans, and now couldn’t be more excited to land in my home state of North Carolina to join the @carolinabluegrassband as the special guest for their spring concert this Tuesday night. (4/28) I absolutely loved my time as a music major at UNC-CH so this will be a special night for sure. Let’s pick!
Happy Earth Day from Kauai! This magical island is the perfect place to celebrate. It’s been a beautiful week over here, big mahalo to everyone who came out to our shows. Can’t wait to come back next year! 🌎🌍🌏 #banjo #sunrise #kauai #earthday
