NewFound Road back in the studio

NewFound RoadNewFound Road is about to start working on a new CD. The first studio date is December 8, suggesting that a release in mid-to-late 2008 is reasonable.

Mountain Heart’s Jim Van Cleve will co-produce the new project with the band, and they are excited to get started.

“We’ve been rehearsing the new stuff and have new songs from Ronnie Bowman, Sonya Isaacs, Tim O’Brien, Tim Stafford. Josh Shilling and I wrote a tune and Joe Booher and Justin Moses recently wrote an instrumental for the record as well.”

Band members include Tim Shelton on guitar, Randy Barnes on bass, Jr. Williams on banjo, and Joe Booher on mandolin.
