Acoustic Endeavors, On A Farm

After almost three years of promises, the new release from Acoustic Endeavors is finally available. Like their two previous CDs, On A Farm contains all original material, written by Warren Amberson and Kelly Green, the band’s primary vocalists. Other band members include Dewey Peters on guitar, Billy Hurt on fiddle, plus one of our blog authors, John Lawless on banjo.

The material is a mix of bluegrass, gospel and folk-inflected acoustic music performed in a straighforward, unassuming manner. Audio samples are available on the Acoustic Endeavors web site.

The band asked us to mention that radio promos will go out next week (10/24) and that John will have copies with him at IBMA – find him at the AcuTab booth.
