Don’t forget to sign up to win in our Mashville Brigade Take This Hammer contest. Ten winners will receive an autographed copy of the band’s debut CD, Bluegrass Smash Hits Volume 1, and one extra-luck grand prize winner will also receive a fully-functional clawhammer, signed by the members of the band at last Tuesday’s CD release party in Nashville.

Mashville is a side project featuring a number of young Nashville pickers who make their career performing with top touring bluegrass acts. They get together to perform each week at The Station Inn, where their CD was recorded. Members include Jim Van Cleve on fiddle (Mountain Heart), Ashby Frank on mandolin (Special Consensus), Aaron McDaris on banjo (Grascals), Randy Barnes on bass (NewFound Road) and Darrell Webb on guitar (Rhonda Vincent).

The Take This Hammer contest is open to all registered users of The Bluegrass Blog, and registration is quick, easy and free. It runs through the end of this week, with winners selected at random, announced on Friday (5/2).

Enter now and win!

UPDATE 5/2: This contest is now closed - winners to be announced shortly.
