Thank’s again to Rural Rhythm Records and Mountain Fever Studios for their support on this new release.
Sammy and Sue Shelor announced recently that the Grand Opening of the Corn Maze at Mountain Meadow Farm and Craft Market would be held during the Chinquapin Festival on August 30, 31 and September 1, 2008 (Labor Day Weekend). To see this year’s theme and design click here.
Lonesome River Band’s new CD “No Turning Back” will be released on “Rural Rhythm Records” September 9th, 2008. Check out the Press Release from Hope River Entertainment with all the details.
The first single, “Them Blues”, will be released to radio July 15th. This song was recorded by the band in 1984 on LRB’s first ”Rebel Records” release. We started doing it again in the live shows last year and decided it would be a great song to tie the past with the current line-up.
Many thank’s go to Rural Rhythm, Hope River, The Witcher Brothers, and Mountain Fever Studios for making this cd possible.

Sorry for the lack of updates lately but we have been very busy in the Studio. We started the project on Feb.4th and finished tracking on the 14th. We have been working at Mountain Fever Studio in Willis,VA. Mark Hodges has been great to work with and the CD is sounding great. It is almost all new material with a couple of old favorites thrown in. Brandon has several of his original songs on the project and we have been helped by other great writers including Larry Cordle, Dee Gaskin, and Billy Yeates. Mixing is going on now and we hope to be talking to record companies soon.
Special thank’s to Karen Hodges for the great meals she cooked while were there.
We are proud to announce that Mike Hartgrove, former fiddler for LRB, will rejoin the band starting in January, 2008. After a stint with Doyle Lawson and Quicksilver and teaching fiddle, Mike will be back on stage with us soon. He is one of the true “PROS” of this business and we are going to enjoy having his great fiddle work back in the band.
Matt Leadbetter, the only full time Dobro player for LRB, has left the band to be with his new son Houston and to work closer to home. Matt did a great job with the band and we wish him well.
We look forward to seeing all you great bluegrass fans in your area in 2008. We are planning the release of a new project sometime in the Spring of 2008.
Merry Christmas !!
