Progressive bluegrass outfit The Infamous Stringdusters has announced the forthcoming release of a new concert album titled, Live From Telluride. The 20-track live album was recorded during the band’s show at The Palm Theatre as part of the 2018 Telluride Bluegrass Festival back in June, and is scheduled to arrive this Friday, November 16th via Tape Time Records.
According to the band’s announcement shared via press release on Tuesday, the album will include a mix of covers and original material from their 12-year career, including “No More To Leave You Behind”, “Soul Searching”, and “Run To Heaven”. One of said covers included on the album will be the band’s performance of Grateful Dead‘s rural rock anthem, “Tennessee Jed”, which can be heard in full here ahead of its release on Friday. The album will be the Stringdusters’ second live LP in as many years following 2017’s Laws of Gravity: LIVE!, which consisted of a mix of concert recordings from songs off their last studio album, Laws of Gravity.
“Telluride Bluegrass has been the center of the acoustic festival universe for many years, and we have been really honored to be involved in that,” the band’s banjo player Chris Pandolfi said in a statement about their forthcoming release. “You feel [the energy] every time you step on stage there, and this show was no exception. We knew pretty much right after the show that this was a show worth putting out there. Hope you guys enjoy!”
The Infamous Stringdusters also announced their next batch of North American concert dates to go with Tuesday’s live album announcement, with 23 shows set for February and March of 2019. The new dates will start a few weeks after their previously announced run of January shows, beginning on February 14th in Bozeman, Montana, and continuing until March 31st with a performance at Wilmington, North Carolina’s Greenfield Lake Amphitheater. The band will be joined at select shows throughout the winter run by Shook Twins and John Craigie.
General on-sale for tickets to newly announced February/March concert dates will begin this Friday, November 16th at 10 a.m. local time. Artist pre-sale tickets for select shows are available now via the band’s website.
