The Lonesome River Band is one of the most respected and influential bands in bluegrass. Although rooted in the traditional sounds of Flatt & Scruggs and Bill Monroe, the Lonesome River Band continue to set standards of their own. The recipients of the SPBGMA award as Vocal Group of 1997 and multiple IBMA wins and nominations to band members proves why the Lonesome River Band is one of the most successful and most honored bluegrass groups of the past decade. Banjo ace, Sammy Shelor, Mike Hartgrove on fiddle, Jeff Parker on mandolin, Brandon Rickman on guitar and John Wade on bass fuse ultra-tight vocal harmonies with virtuosic musicianship and well-conceived arrangements. Their new album, Head On Into Heartache on the Mountain Home label is no exception with hard-driving high-energy bluegrass at its best! Nobody matches Lonesome River Band’s live shows for sheer exuberance, stage dynamics and crowd connection, and this new album reflects that with hot playing, passionate singing, tight harmonies and a kickin’ ‘grass attitude. They are looking back and moving forward with their neo-traditional bluegrass sound with great material by songwriters such as Jerry Sallye, Lester Flatt and Harley Allen.
