The Infamous Stringdusters with Shadowgrass at From the Earth

From the venue:

It’s been 20 years since the inception of The Infamous Stringdusters, the Grammy Award-winning ensemble whose tone and swagger meld acoustic majesty with a full-blown rock show attitude.

To celebrate, the groundbreaking jam-grass quintet is releasing 20/20. Twenty brand new songs for twenty years. The endless miles in pursuit of a dream. The surreal, whirlwind shows of transcendence and lore. The legacy that has become truly infamous.

“We’ve been around for 20 years, and I feel like we’re putting more into our music — both writing and the live shows — than we ever have,” says banjoist Chris Pandolfi. “And the reality is, that you do need to step a little harder on the gas to get the same results — it takes real intention.”

At its core, 20/20 marks an important milestone for the group, who happily exemplify sonic exploration and endless curiosity while maintaining a deep respect for musical tradition — under the bright stage lights or in the midst of a recording session.

“We’ve always been very intentional in how we wanted our show to sound and to look,” according to bassist Travis Book “And, 20 years later, we’re still distilling the best elements of what we all bring to the band.”
