More details TBA.

Video footage of our performance in Knoxville, TN for the “Blue Plate Special,” WDVX’s live radio show. In this episode, Paul shows off his Howitzer-bass, Ryan and Scott warm up with “Sandy River Belle,” and the band rips through “Logjam” and “The Takeup Medley.” All three songs are available on our newly released album, Most Folk Heroes Started Out As Criminals. You can download the entire audio portion of the radio program on our website here.

Please remember to vote daily from as many computer/email-address combos as you have access to. Early and Often is the operative term here, people!

We just need to stay in the Top-5 vote-getters through Friday 10/17, at which point it’s up to the judges to put Tangleweed on the same stage with David Grisman, Avett Bros, and many other great bands.

This is a Chicago bluegrass fest, we’re a Chicago bluegrass band, and Kip and Scott can WALK TO THE THEATER FROM THEIR HOMES, so we like our chances. But we need all the votes we can get to stay in the running, so thanks very much for your support!

Bluegrass legend Dr. Ralph Stanley recorded a radio ad in support of Barack Obama’s candidacy. The ad will air in Stanley’s native Virginia. It’s a powerful, heartfelt statement. Click the dealie below to listen.

The song in the background is ‘Rank Strangers’, BTW.
