This week, The Infamous Stringdusters latest record ‘Rise Sun’ (4.5) debuts at No. 1 on the Billboard Bluegrass Albums charts, making it the band’s fourth career chart-topping placement.
A follow up to its GRAMMY Award-winning album ‘Laws of Gravity’ (1.13.17), the five-piece, bluegrass-meets-jam band worked with hip-hop producer Billy Hume (Nelly, Ludacris) to push the boundaries of traditional bluegrass, infusing sonic elements highlighting the incomparable, innovative musicianship in each song.

“a shape-shifting flurry of strings and entrancing harmonies”
