Austin, TX, 2006 - Playing as a trio for just over a year now, the new Two High String Band has unearthed a powerful sound, combining stellar acoustic picking with the Texas tradition of fine song crafting. Audiences all across the country are amazed to discover that such a wide spectrum of intensity and tonality can be generated with two guitars, one mandolin, and three voices. The group's dedication to songwriting and live performance is converting all sorts of music lovers into Two High String Band fans. Their latest release, "Moonshine Boogie" (on Blue Corn Music), builds upon the instrumental craftsmanship of their first CD, "Insofarasmuch," and exemplifies a maturity in songwriting and singing that can only be reached through life experiences and time on the road. With great harmonies, unexpected instrumental twists, and stirring tales, "Moonshine Boogie" is a twelve song journey, capturing mandolinist Billy Bright, and guitarists Brian Smith, and Geoff Union as a trio, quartet, quintet, and sextet with banjo great Tony Trischka (Psychograss, etc.), fiddler Chojo Jacques (Waybacks), and upright bassist Eric Thorin (Open Road) joining them. Their debut release on Bluecorn Records, "Insofarasmuch" (2003), included guest appearances by bluegrass legends David Grisman and Vassar Clements. The "Insofarasmuch" tour took them all over the United States, including performances at Rockygrass, Merlefest, Springfest, and a few shows with the late legendary Vassar Clements on the fiddle! Two High String Band is spearheading their own revival of traditional acoustic music and hits the ground running in 2006 with "Moonshine Boogie". In stores February 21st on Bluecorn Records.
