I’m psyched to welcome Andy Hall of The Infamous Stringdusters to Roadcase!!  The Stringdusters are celebrating their 20th year as a band and they’ve got a new album, 20/20, coming out February 13 to mark this special occasion.

Andy talks to me about the evolution of the band — their roots in progressive bluegrass, and how they all came together — and we go deep into that collaborative vibe that makes the Stringdusters so special. 

The Stringdusters is one of my favorite bands, and I’m delighted to have Andy on the show. You can check out this one by clicking on that link in the bio — and stay tuned for more special coverage of the Dusters coming up next week!
