Dan Tyminski was six years old when his parents began taking him to fiddlecontests, square dances, and bluegrass festivals across New England. For a youngmusician who would later become one of the biggest names in modern-daybluegrass, those early experiences were life changing.Watching live music always spoke to me much louder than sitting in front of myrecord player, he remembers. I loved it. Wherever music was being played, Iwanted to go watch. Years later, I still feel that way.Throughout his 30+ year career, Tyminski has left his mark in every corner of modernmusic. His voice famously accompanies George Clooneys performance of theStanley Brothers classic song, I Am A Man of Constant Sorrow, in the film, OhBrother, Where Art Thou? and his vocal collaboration with Swedish DJ Avicii on thesong Hey Brother was a global smash, having been streamed more than a billiontimes to date. His diverse solo projects and years of work with Alison Krauss andUnion Station have yielded troves of award-winning music.In recent years, Tyminskis live shows with the Dan Tyminski Band have becomebluegrass fan favorites and are regularly on the must-see lists among music fans ofany genre.With his newest album release the Grammy-nominated 2024 concert album DanTyminski: Live From The Ryman he captures the magic of those live shows, whilealso proving that he still has the same passion for live music as he did when he wasgrowing up.His earliest touring and recording work was as a part of the band, Green MountainBluegrass. He later joined the influential bluegrass group, Lonesome River Band,before embarking on his three decades of work with Alison Krauss and UnionStation.

STYGIAN BOUGH In our human minds, according to the Law of Contagious Magic as described in The Golden Bough by anthropologist James Frazer, contact between two objects creates an inseparable thread between them. A gift from a dead friend forever holds this magic like a scar reflecting a wound. Similarly, a piece of food that touches the floor is suddenly abject and rotten. Pairing this notion with the Law of Similarity Magic, as described by Frazer, where an object resembling another can share its power, a musical notion can be understood to serve as an unbodied conduit of such magics; an emotional contact between the music and audience wherein such sorcery threads an inseparable seam that, for a time, resemble each other. Aptly named in reference to the aforementioned book, on Stygian Bough Volume II, the collaboration between Bell Witch (Dylan Desmond, Jesse Shreibman) and Aerial Ruin (Erik Moggridge) enlivens its unbodied presence resembling both collaborating projects as a conduit in its own separate entity. In the course of an hour, four musical pieces set themselves apart from the catalogs of both individual bands and branch into new territory all the while threaded to the original encounter. Over the album a cyclical world unfolds in which different perspectives of how various forms of worship empower, eclipse, destroy and feed on each other is explored. “All four songs explore different aspects of worship or awe—transcendent experiences in different contexts, ” vocalist & guitarist Erik Moggridge says. Autumn Sky Passage by Jeff Scott Castle 40 WATT SUN 40 Watt Sun is the musical project of singer, guitarist and songwriter Patrick Walker, founded in early 2009 following the dissolution of his previous band, Warning, one of the most important, highly regarded and influential bands to emerge from the ‘90s doom metal scene. The music of 40 Watt Sun is characterised by spare and deliberate arrangements, down-tempo rhythms, and Patrick Walker’s poignant and idiosyncratic vocals and introspective, often darkly-confessional lyrics. Hank Shteamer of Rolling Stone magazine has described the band’s music as “a poetic, gradually unfolding dirge rock”. Band Website Spotify Facebook Instagram
