The Infamous Stringdusters ( thestringdusters.com )
Though it may sound like hyperbole, the simple truth is this: there’s no other band quite like the Infamous Stringdusters. Emerging from a lively community of friends and colleagues that’s taken root in Nashville, they’re six musicians poised at the point where youthful energy is balanced with maturity, inspiration with discipline and creativity with experience — exactly the sweet spot where the greats have made their most lasting marks. Excitingly, the Infamous Stringdusters have just been nominated for International Bluegrass Music Association awards in three separate categories: Song of the Year (“Fork in the Road”), Album of the Year, and Emerging Artist.
Schooled in tradition yet able to stretch out in jam band style improvisation, endowed with razor-sharp vocals, fiery instrumental abilities and a rapidly growing repertoire of well-crafted original songs and tunes, the Infamous Stringdusters are as fresh an addition to the bluegrass — make that, the music — scene as has come along in many a year. “They’re young, bright, articulate, immensely talented, and they can sing in the old style or in their own style,” says award-winning Blue Highway guitarist, singer and songwriter Tim Stafford, who produced Fork In The Road, the sextet’s February 2007 debut for Sugar Hill.
Untangling the threads of the Infamous Stringdusters’ origin is nearly impossible, thanks to the breadth of professional associations and friendships that brought its members together in various combinations. Still, a few highlights are worth noting. From the joint tenure that Andy Hall, Jeremy Garrett and Jesse Cobb shared in three time IBMA Male Vocalist of the Year Ronnie Bowman’s band, The Committee; to the initial encounter between Hall, Chris Eldridge and Chris Pandolfi in Boston, where Hall had graduated from the Berklee School of Music not long before Pandolfi became the first student there admitted with the banjo as his principal instrument; to the lengthy search that resulted in Colorado jamgrass mainstay Travis Book’s joining the band.
As deep as their individual experience runs, the Infamous Stringdusters are quick to assert that the band is more than the sum of its parts. After a furiously busy year and a half on the road, they’re attuned enough to one another that they complete each others’ sentences. Their closeness of mind and prodigious talents make for tight, quick-moving live shows that sparkle with an infectious energy.
