our artists
Railroad earth
For over two decades, Railroad Earth has captivated audiences with gleefully unpredictable live shows and eloquent and elevated studio output. The group introduced its signature sound on 2001’s The Black Bear Sessions. Between selling out hallowed venues such as Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, CO, they’ve launched the longstanding annual Hangtown Music Festival in Placerville, CA and Hillberry: The Harvest Moon Festival in Ozark, AR—both running for a decade-plus. Sought after by legends, the John Denver Estate tapped them to put lyrics penned by the late John Denver to music on the 2019 vinyl EP, Railroad Earth: The John Denver Letters. Beyond tallying tens of millions of streams, the collective have earned widespread critical acclaim from David Fricke of Rolling Stone, American Songwriter, Glide Magazine, and NPR who assured, “Well-versed in rambling around, as you might expect from a band named after a Jack Kerouac poem, the New Jersey-built jam-grass engine Railroad Earth has let no moss grow under its rustic wheels.”
yonder mountain string band
Yonder Mountain String Band, a pioneer in progressive jamgrass for nearly three decades, enters a new era with Nowhere Next, their 11th studio album. Blending bluegrass, rock, country, and funk, the record features original songs shaped by personal experiences and places.Founding members Adam Aijala (guitar), Dave Johnston (banjo), and Ben Kaufmann (bass) are joined by multi-instrumentalist Nick Piccininni and newcomer Coleman Smith (fiddle). Grammy-winning Dobro master Jerry Douglas adds his signature touch to three tracks.
Balancing nostalgia and innovation, Nowhere Next delivers storytelling, genre-bending energy, and fresh takes on Yonder classics. Self-produced by the band, the album captures their dynamic synergy, offering one of their most compelling releases yet.
daniel donato’s cosmic country
Daniel Donato is a 25-year-old Nashville guitarist blending outlaw country, jam-band Americana, and sharp songwriting into what he calls 21st-century cosmic country. A former teen prodigy at Robert’s Western World, he honed his craft with the Don Kelley Band before discovering the Grateful Dead, bridging honky-tonk roots with expansive musical storytelling.
His debut album, A Young Man’s Country, recorded in two days with Robben Ford, mixes originals with covers of Waylon Jennings, John Prine, and the Dead. With over 2,000 shows under his belt, a devoted fanbase, and his Lost Highway podcast, Donato is redefining country music for a new generation.
lettuce
LETTUCE is (a) the prime ingredient in a salad, (b) a slang for cash, (c) a green herb that can be smoked, (d) a genre-busting six-member musical collective formed in 1992 by four alumni of the prestigious Berklee College Of Music, or (e) all of the above. If you answered “e,” then you’re in on the sheer magic of a band that both feeds the rich history of funk music and combines it with strains of hip-hop, rock, psychedelia, jazz, soul, jam, go-go, and the avant-garde.
The GRAMMY® Award-nominated six-piece is comprised of Adam Deitch [drums, percussion], Adam “Shmeeans” Smirnoff [guitar], Erick “Jesus” Coomes [bass], Ryan Zoidis [alto, baritone, tenor sax, Korg X-911], Eric “Benny” Bloom [trumpet, horns], and Nigel Hall [vocals, Hammond B-3, Rhodes, clavinet, keyboards].
