Mountain Song Productions and Sixthman are thrilled to team up once again and bring you Mountain Song at Sea 2014. We’re back with more of the experiences you can’t get anywhere else: shows with your favorite artists in intimate venues; spontaneous artist collaborations; jams; interactions with artists in Q&A sessions; workshops and activities; and through it all, the creation and renewal of friendships and your own Mountain Song at Sea family.

Mountain Song at Sea sails February 3-7, 2014, from Miami to Nassau and Great Stirrup Cay, Bahamas, aboard Norwegian Pearl. You’ll enjoy a luxurious ship full of all the amenities you’d expect – a pool, hot tubs, a casino and music on multiple stages, around every corner.   Learn More

We truly appreciate everyone’s financial contribution as well as the help in spreading the word about our campaign.

Depending on the level of support donors received perks from an audio CD or digital download of the soundtrack, a unique set of Hayloft Gang postcards, a signed copy of the companion book of essays, and a DVD of the documentary with extras, when completed.

Our funding is being used to clear the copyrights and license the music in the film, so we can release The Hayloft Gang on DVD.  If things go as planned we anticipate a fall 2013 DVD release.

Sign up for our mailing list for updates on the latest news from The Hayloft Gang.

This week the second hour highlighted the ‘progressive’ side of bluegrass. More on that below. Next week North Carolina artists will be highlighted. Since I am in North Carolina, and there are so many great artists from here, it just seems natural.

Now as to this new format I’m using that highlights a different part of bluegrass each week. I have found over that last couple of months that defining what is ‘progressive’ is (at least for me) not all that easy/simple. Given that I will change the highlight rotation starting next month (June). The new hightlight rotation will be:

First week               traditional/old school artists

Second week           women artists

Third week             North Carolina artists

Forth week             gospel grass

Fifth week (when there is one) independent artists and new releases

 

I think this new format will work better as I go forward. What do you think? Let me know!

For a limited time we are making the EP available online in all of its forms . . . digital download, CD, and the much anticipated vinyl 45.  Both the CD and the 45 come with an immediate digital download, so you won’t have to wait any longer to hear it if you choose to receive a physical copy.

 

As an added bonus, the vinyl comes with a couple goodies that aren’t available with any of the other packages.  

 

  • A previously unreleased track from our debut CD, “Live at eTown Hall”.

  • An immediate download of the EP, but also a physical download card with another digital copy to give to a friend

  • A commemorative hardwood 45 adapter for use with your record player

Act quickly, as the album will be taken back offline Thursday night.  There will be a couple more opportunities to order online before the release date, but they will have little advanced warning and won’t last long.  Hope you like it!

As you know, they are some of the best of the best in bluegrass.

Mountain Home Music & Crossroads Music offered the project and we pitched it to AmazonMP3, where they featured it in the Amazon Gold Box section! This is huge for the label, artists, us, and Bluegrass as a whole. If this free sampler goes well for AmazonMP3 then it will open up the opportunity for other bluegrass albums to be featured to the masses. The album will be featured until the end of the month. 

Please let me know if you would consider posting this on IBMA’s Facebook page. The link is http://amzn.to/Yhmcpe. Thanks so much for your time!
