  • Bryan Sutton Reveals New Depth with Fourth Sugar Hill Release, Into My Own
    BRYAN SUTTON REVEALS NEW DEPTH WITH FOURTH SUGAR HILL RELEASE, INTO MY OWN Solo Record From Bluegrass Guitar Master Due April 29th Nashville, Tenn. (January 27, 2014) –Bryan Sutton returns to Sugar Hill Records with his fourth solo release, Into My Own, available April 29, 2014. “The goal,” Bryan Sutton says, “was to try to make a record that only I could make.” Indeed, even a cursory listen is enough to establish that Into My Own, his fourth album for Sugar Hill Records, fulfills that goal—and does so in a way that reflects not only the instrumental virtuosity that his admirers have come to expect, but also the spirit and sensibilities of a musician intent on challenging himself to continuously grow in every way. For those who think of him as just one of the best acoustic guitarists around, Into My Own will come as an unexpected revelation, while for those who’ve been following his evolution at least since 2009’s Almost Live, it deserves welcome as the culmination of a remarkable musical growth spurt—rich, varied, and, just as he says, a record that only he could make. For what Into My Own does for the first time is present Bryan Sutton, not so much on his own (though there’s a bit of that too), but as an artist who’s worked his way into a musical place that’s all his own, and not just as a phenomenal guitarist, but as a singer and songwriter. Featured alongside Bryan Sutton are some of the best pickers in the genre, also true friends and collaborators; Bill Frisell joins in for “Frissell’s Rag” while Noam Pikelny, Sam Bush, Ronnie McCoury, Stuart Duncan and more stop in to play a few.

  • Hit & Run Bio 2014
    2009 International Bluegrass Music Association "Recorded Event of the Year" Winner (Rebecca Frazier, Daughters of Bluegrass) 2006 First woman on cover of Flatpicking Guitar Magazine (Rebecca Frazier) 2005 International Bluegrass Music Association Showcase Artist First Place, 2005 SPBGMA International Band Championship (Nashville, TN) First Place, 2003 Telluride Bluegrass Festival Band Contest (Telluride, CO) First Place, 2002 Rockygrass Band Contest (Lyons, CO) Rebecca Frazier gained notoriety as the first woman on the cover of Flatpicking Guitar Magazine. With over a decade of touring under her belt, Frazier has returned to the national stage with her flatpicking and songwriting showcase, “When We Fall,” and her new affiliation with Compass Records. In 2013, Rebecca Frazier and Hit & Run have continued to delight audiences across the country with the “handspun yet motor-driven” music that earned Hit & Run their reputation as “one of the tightest groups performing.” They are the only band to win the top triumvirate of major bluegrass band contests at the Telluride, Rockygrass, and SPBGMA Festival Band Championships. Hit & Run formed in late 2001 with the mutual desire to play “authentic yet modern” bluegrass. They quickly launched themselves as a successful touring act out of Colorado, gracing stages of prestigious festivals and venues in 36 states and Canada and eventually migrating to Nashville in 2007 with two studio albums under their belts. Since 2002, Hit & Run has shared stages with the likes of Jimmy Martin, Hot Rize, Rhonda Vincent, Jerry Douglas, Sam Bush, Del McCoury, David Grisman, Ricky Skaggs, Creedence Clearwater Revisited, G.

  • Coy Bowles, Member of the Two-Time GRAMMY Award Winning and Multi
    Coy Bowles, member of the two-time GRAMMY Award winning and multi-platinum Zac Brown Band, will release his first solo album ‘Love Takes Flight’ via Southern Ground Records, Inc. on October 5th. Growing up as an only child in Thomaston, GA, Bowles’ creativity was fueled by his unique ability to engage in a multitude of artistic endeavors. Teaching himself guitar at the age of ten, Coy actively pursued music, prophetically meeting future band mate, Zac Brown, at West Georgia University. It was fellow Zac Brown Band member, Clay Cook, who encouraged Coy to book the studio and record the album. “Life is a ever turning road and love and loss are a part of it. This album is my journal of how the last few years have affected me and how I learned to release and heal while living a life of major success with Zac Brown Band” states Bowles. A combination of loss and heartache are evident themes throughout the album. Specifically, Coy was affected by the losses of a mentor, a student, and a childhood friend. Most of the songs of heartache Bowles wrote on the road with Zac Brown Band. Bowles says “Relationships are hard and so is the loss after the realization that it's never going to work.” Other songs like ‘Love Train’ are about being in love and the world spinning beneath your feet. ‘Follow the Sun’ is about friends of Bowles who joined the military. Musicians on the record include long time Fellowship members Jordan Shalhoup and David Englehard, Atlanta's first call drummer Mark Cobb of Y-O-U and Yacht Rock and Nashville studio and session bassist and producer, Matt Mangano.
