Carrie Hassler Announces 2010 Tour Update

 

One of bluegrass music’s favorite vocalist, Carrie Hassler has announced some major changes for what is surely to be an exciting 2010.  Carrie recently decided that beginning 2011, she would take a little time off to focus on her family and pursue several exciting new possibilities in regards to her career.  She will of course be fulfilling her 2010 tour dates, but no longer as “Carrie Hassler & Hard Rain.”  The members of Hard Rain will now be touring separately with their own new band, Still House.  As a Rural Rhythm recording artist, Carrie certainly wanted to keep within the family, so she is very proud to announce performance dates FEATURING label mates, Brand New Strings or The Mashville Brigade.

Both The Mashville Brigade and Brand New Strings include top veteran musicians with current successful Rural Rhythm albums.  Musicians in these bands include: Ashby Frank, Brandon Rickman, Terry Baucom, Randy Barnes, Randall Massengill, Mike Ramsey, Tim Tipton, Stuart Wyrick, Preston Schmidt and more that will certainly make for some exciting shows! 

Randall Massengill stated, "Brand New Strings is currently on tour promoting our new Rural Rhythm album, but we were thrilled that Carrie asked us to join her. It's great that some of her dates happen to fit perfectly with our current schedule. We look forward to some special performances this year!"
