The Sunday Share...

Time to share! Here's my findings from the web for today's Sunday Share!

Great old-time string bands keep flowing from the northeast and Nettle Honey is a great example. Originally known as Old Technology, Nettle Honey's roots spring from a friendship started at the University of Washington back in 2005 between Johnny Fitzpatrick (banjo) and Colin Sterling (guitar). Later, the lineup was solidified when Brittany Newell added her fiddle prowess and Robert Fulwiler grabbed the bass lines while also bringing in a van to tour with. Fiddlefreak.com has more on their music with their post Nettle Honey: This Shed is Bound for Glory (MP3)

While you are over at Fiddlefreak.com, be sure and check out the entry on Foghorn Stringband's new release Outside the Sun.

I also stumbled across a Folk Alley entry for The Carper Family. See the video below for an in-studio performance but also check out Folk Alley's site for more.



To finish off the morning, the Infamous Stringdusters have a new album just released titled Silver Sky. Here's a new video of the song "Don't Mean Nothin'"released in support of the new album.
