Austin Ward on bass and Christian Ward on fiddle are joining us full-time starting in August. Both teenagers are great musicians who not only have chops but can play to the song appropriately. They played last year with Earl Scruggs and Ricky Skaggs at the CMT fan fest. We're really happy to have them in the band. Mason Tuttle will be playing lead guitar and mandolin with us, moving over from the bass. Mason played guitar and mandolin on our last two projects, so we're excited that he's going to be able to strut his stuff now.

We just back from Oman in the Middle East Brian Wicklund joined us on fiddle and he'll be doing more gigs with us this year. We had an absolutely amazing time. Lost Highway, Eric Uglum & Sons, and our band toured there for ten days--the first time bluegrass has ever been performed in Oman. Thanks to Bud Bierhaus for organizing an incredible tour! You can also read an interview by Bob Cherry with the US Ambassador, Richard Baltimore, in Oman about the tour.
