Spinney Brothers - February Newsletter

"My Music Comes From Bill"
We've been beyond excited at the amazing response our new project, Tried & True has received from fans and radio! The album makes it's debut this month on the National Bluegrass Survey's Top 15 Albums coming in at #13! Not only that, but our first single, "Gonna Catch A Train" is on the National Bluegrass Surveys Top 30 Songs chart this month at #19
The latest single, "My Music Comes From Bill" is very special to us. We fell in love with it the first time we heard it and are so fortunate that its songwriters, Bill Castle and Steve Watts allowed us to record it! The song has been a real favorite for everyone and made its debut this month at #29 on the National Bluegrass Survey's Top 30 Songs chart. And, it's #3 on Bluegrass Today's Monthly Songs chart for February as well!
If you remember, we performed "My Music Comes From Bill" at last year's IBMA Awards with special guests Michael Cleveland, Jason Carter, and Ron Stewart. We've recently learned that our performance will be included in a one-hour highlight show that will begin airing as an episode of the Music City Roots series on PBS in early April 2015 on PBS television stations across the United States. The IBMA Awards Show will air again as a stand-alone episode in the summer.
If you live within the US viewing area, be sure to check your local listings for the show. If you happen to live outside the US, take a look one more time at the video we captured during the show. 

Be sure to read the review of Tried & True in this month's Bluegrass Unlimited Magazine
