I'm delighted to announce that my first all-original all-bluegrass album, History In My Hands, will be released on June 14, 2011. History contains my performances on mandolin and guitar, and I'm joined by some of the midwest's finest bluegrass musicians, as well as Portguese banjo whiz Andre Dal. The album features nine self-written songs and one instrumental; a second instrumental was written by banjoist Bob Perlstein, and it is my attempt to put a new spin on traditional bluegrass by writing new material which fits well alongside old classics. History's first single is "We Can Just Pretend," a driving bluegrass number featuring Andre on the banjo. You can hear a sample on the Music section of this site. Check back shortly for pre-order information, which will be up later this week!
