John Cowan, also known as the “Voice of Newgrass,” has been
singing his heart out for thirty-five years, and his soaring vocals
have only improved with time. A true innovator, John applies his
powerful pipes to genres from country, bluegrass, and gospel to soul,
jazz, and rock-and-roll – often within the space of a single
concert. With his distinctive, rock-tinged tenor vocal and
heart-thumping electric bass, John, along with fellow New Grass
Revival band mates Sam Bush, Courtney Johnson, and Curtis Burch, and
later Bela Fleck and Pat Flynn, introduced a new generation of music
fans to an explosive, experimental and ultimately, eponymous brand of
bluegrass A former member of the Doobie Brothers and New Grass
Revival, Cowan formed the John Cowan Band, featuring some of acoustic
music’s finest players, and has been a force to be reckoned with
these past fifteen years – and counting. In 2014 John signed to
Nashville-based Compass Records for the release of SIXTY, a career
retrospective of sorts that is the singer's most ambitious project to
date. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Husband and wife duo DARIN & BROOKE ALDRIDGE
draw on the traditions of their native North Carolina, the savvy of a
young, gifted band and their own dedication to ingenuity to create the
most mature release of their career with their latest release, Flying.

SiriusXM, Bluegrass and Gospel charts. They have received multiple
nominations from the International Bluegrass Music Association (IBMA)
the Society for the Preservation of Bluegrass Music of America
