MIGHTY POPLAR

Hey, it’s been a very long while since this has been updated and a lot has happened. But the exciting news I have to share now is that I have a new band called Mighty Poplar with Andrew Marlin, Noam Pikelny, Alex Hargreaves and Greg Garrison. Punch Bros is still alive and kicking for anyone wondering, but not doing much this year. I couldn’t be more excited about Mighty Poplar - it’s the first chance I’ve had play in what I would consider to be an actual real bluegrass context since I was in the Infamous Stringdusters in the early years of that band. I left the ‘Dusters in 2007 so it’s been awhile! Anyway, MP made a record that I’m deeply proud of that will be out March 31, 2023 on Free Dirt Records and we’re going to be hitting the road a bit throughout the year. I’m really proud of Mighty Poplar and I hope you check it out and dig it!
