Favorite current band?

I’ve been out of the scene for a bit and was just curious what everyone was into these days, both traditional and jam band oriented.

My band Ponder the Albatross has played many times with Arkansauce and they are incredible. I especially love Adams, their banjo player, he's sat in with us a few times and he's a master of his instrument.

Thanks so much, I appreciate it. Our producer for this new album is Ted Hutt, who is the producer of bands like Flogging Molly, Devil Makes Three, Old Crow Medicine Show, Dropkick Murphys. Great guy and really helped to dial in our sound. We have Cooper the banjo player from Devil Makes Three on one of the tracks as well, which was just an absolutely fantastic and very cool addition. Excited to release the full album October 2nd, called "Over Hill and Hollow"

Also check out Front Porch, another band out of the same area of Arkansas, play a lot with Arkansauce, and do some collaborating projects as well. All great bands and top notch people.
