Saturday was a milestone. I had played the Opry but never under my name. Playing it as a duo with my wonderful friend and collaborator Tammy Rogers, to promote our new record, was more than I ever could have hoped for. Thanks to brother Chris Richards for the photos.

The first showcases for @AmericanaFest 2022 been announced! Tammy and I are so excited to be a part this year! Take advantage of early bird pricing on passes while it lasts! bit.ly/3vxhGrN #americanafest

The power of images lies not just in what they show us, but also in what we read into them. @TheBluegrasSituation will premiere the full-length video for “Take That Shot” on Monday, June 27!

"Take That Shot," my new single with Tim Stafford is featured on this awesome @spotify playlist, Grass Roots. Listen here! open.spotify.com/playlist/37i9d…

Tim Stafford and I have a new single coming out. This story is based on some of the infamous Appalachian feuds. I love the way Tim sings this and Tammy Rogers plays some killer fiddle on it! -Pre-add/save it ahead of the October 18 release mtfvrrec.lnk.to/6ynGMw

"New Johnson City Blues" Hanging at our East TN outpost last night. We love this town so much. Back to Nashville today.

"No Witness In The Laurel But The Leaves" Streaming October 18! Facts and fiction flow together on this one. I had the title and suggested it to Tim. He immediately knew which way we should run with it and suggested some cool local details that made it into the song.

Tammy Rogers and I would appreciate your support on this. This has been a very special record to make since we wrote and recorded almost all of these songs during the pandemic. Thanks so much for your consideration.

There is nothing romantic about the Appalachian family feuds around the turn of the century. Some were real, some were exaggerated by sensationalist "local-color writers". This tells the story of one of these feuds. Can you decide what is historical fact and what we invented?

I have a new song releasing today, it's a Christmas song I wrote with Tammy King called "Welcome The Babe."

Excited for everyone to hear this new one from the duo project I have coming out with Tim Stafford next month! #thebluegrays

Martin Simpson’s fantastic guitar arrangement on "The Wagoner's Lad" stands on its own, I chose to simply echo the vocal melody on my 1941 Epiphone Triumph archtop guitar that once belonged to Norman Blake. topicrecs.lnk.to/TWL
