press release:
Grammy-nominated group The Infamous Stringdusters is coming to Madison for a special show Saturday, November 11, at the Majestic Theatre, with support from Ryan Young & Erik Berry of Trampled by Turtles.
The Stringdusters are touring in support of their latest studio album Laws Of Gravity (Compass Records), which debuted #1 on Billboard’s Bluegrass albums chart upon its January 2017 release. They also released a live album, Laws Of Gravity: Live!, recorded earlier this year while out on the road and are preparing to drop an EP of covers, Undercover Vol. 2, on October 27. Check out their version of the Cure’s “Just Like Heaven” here on Rolling Stone.
Widely acclaimed for their improvisational live shows, The New York Times’ Jon Pareles said the Stringdusters “have ignored purism, applied their virtuosity to untraditional tunes and structures and found a wider audience along the jam-band circuit...What sounds casual and good-timey is intricately plotted and arranged, attentive to the textures of each voice and string. The Infamous Stringdusters don’t leave bluegrass behind; they’re stretching it from within.”
