On their debut album, 'Deep Waters', Boston-based bluegrass quintet The Lonely Heartstring Band forges a dynamic and distinct sound not unlike the genre-bending contributions made by the Punch Brothers, Alison Krauss, and Infamous String Dusters. The Lonely Heartstring Band unites traditional bluegrass with contemporary songwriting, and has already earned accolades from respected members of the bluegrass community. Banjo legend Tony Trischka says, "These Heartstring Boys have carved out a fresh niche in modern bluegrass. They adhere to the traditional format but take everything two steps forward. Their roots are clear and so is their path to the future. They're in a class by themselves." 'Deep Waters' offers listeners an array of musical stylings from which to choose, featuring modern bluegrass on the title track and in the song "The Road's Salvation," unique arrangements of songs by Paul Simon ("Graceland"), Bob Dylan ("Rambling, Gambling Willie"), and Pete Seeger ("If I Had A hammer"). A playful instrumental, "Big Bruce," and "Songbird" which offers the sound of the Monroe Brothers for the 21st century.
