NewFound Road has created a video promo which includes live footage from a recent stage show. It was shot and edited by Matt Zervos, who also produced the new Dale Ann Bradley video for Don’t Turn Your Back.

Two bluegrass acts announced new affiliations yesterday.

Dailey & Vincent will now be represented by Columbia Artists Management and NewFound Road has signed with The Roots Agency. Both of these companies are large outfits who manage and book acts in a wide spectrum of styles.

Columbia Artists (CAMI) has historically focused on classical artists, conductors and ballet companies. They started in 1930 as an offshoot of CBS and have grown into the world’s largest agency in the classical and dance worlds. They have more recently expanded their roster to include world music, bluegrass and jazz artists, with Cherryholmes being the first grassers to sign.

The Roots Agency represents artists in folk and folk-derived genres popular in The US – folk, bluegrass, Cajun, Celtic, jazz and Latin to name a few. Folk giants like Arlo Guthrie, The Chieftains and Richie Havens are represented here, as are Claire Lynch and Frank Vignola.

Both Dailey & Vincent and NewFound Road are hoping to be able to bring their music to new and larger audiences with these moves.

NewFound Road has posted live video from their show at Rudy Fest in late June. Two songs are available, both professionally shot and edited, of the band with Jim VanCleve sitting in on fiddle.

Here’s the live version of Houston (I’m Comin’ To See You), from their Life In A Song CD.

We posted a note earlier this week about the birth of Joshua Andrew Miller, newborn son of NewFound Road’s banjo man, Josh Miller. Little Josh burst onto the scene Monday at nearly ten pounds.

We promised at the time to put up a baby picture as soon as we got one, and so we have.

That’s a couple big ol’ boys right there!
