Nickel Creek - Celebrants - VINYL LP

Double vinyl LP pressing. Since their 2000 formation in Kalamazoo, MI, the quintet-Anders Beck [dobro], Michael Arlen Bont [banjo], Dave Bruzza [guitar], Mike Devol [upright bass], and Paul Hoffman [mandolin]-have unassumingly progressed into a phenomenon on their own terms with the undying support of a devout audience. Throughout the years, they've earned critical acclaim from the likes of Billboard, Parade, NPR, and Rolling Stone, who hailed them as Inchrepresenting the genre for a whole new generation.Inch In celebration of the band's 25th anniversary, they will be releasing new versions of fan favorites from their celebrated catalog. Special guest artists will be featured on some of the tracks, beginning with InchCan't Stop Now (feat. Sam Bush).

Vinyl LP pressing. A lost treasure returns with new surprises! After their tenure with J.D. Crowe and the New South, future bluegrass legends Jerry Douglas and Ricky Skaggs founded Boone Creek (with guitarist Wes Golding and banjoist Terry Baucom). They pushed boundaries with a sound that infused traditional bluegrass with jam and pop. Remastered from the original tapes, this album includes four outtakes that were far ahead of their time. Step into a time machine and experience 1970s bluegrass like never before.

Mountain Grass Unit stand at the intersection of bluegrass music's past and future. They're leaders of a new generation of songwriters who honor the genre's history while pushing it's boundaries, too - musicians who treat bluegrass not as a tradition, but as a living, breathing language. That language evolves and expands with 'Appalachian Smoke', an album that combines the live-wire energy of the band's concerts with the bold, wide-open exploration of the recording studio.Produced by six-time Grammy winner Vance Powell, 'Appalachian Smoke' came together during a whirlwind era that found Mountain Grass Unit hitting the highway, transforming their grassroots audience into a national following. For years, they'd squeeze their concerts into the narrow margins of long weekends and summertime breaks. When college graduation spilled the musicians out into the real world in 2025, Mountain Grass Unit committed fully to the road, selling out more than 30 shows that year and winning the International Bluegrass Music Association's Momentum Artist of the Year award. Even so, nothing could have prepared the guys for 'Appalachian Smoke.' If releases like 'Runnin' From Trouble' and 'Places I've Been' introduced the band's stacked vocal harmonies, expert flat-picking, and curated songwriting - hallmarks of the bluegrass music they'd grown up playing, along with Grateful Dead cuts and rock & roll classics - then 'Appalachian Smoke' proves they're every bit as interested in reinvention as preservation. This isn't your grandfather's bluegrass record; it's an eclectic collection of modern-day American roots music, proudly planted in the 21st century.
