Infamous Colorado grass harvests Let it Go

(a portion of this piece was published by Planet JH Weekly)By now, if you haven’t caught a set of the high-energy propelled jamgrass that is the Infamous Stringdusters, its safe to say that it’s time to crawl out from under that rock. Since their debut performance at Targhee Bluegrass Fest in 2008, the Stringdusters have crept to an elite level in the bluegrass genre. The upward trajectory has progressively transpired in the shadows of the Tetons through numerous festival sets (at least one as a headliner), club shows at the Mangy Moose and Knotty Pine, and sold out theatre shows at the Pink Garter.The band’s new album, Let it Go, drops April 1, so expect some fresh melodies and extended jammin’ during this winter tour that will touch both coasts and benefit The Conservation Alliance, a non-profit that works to protect wild places. A lyric from the album sums up the band’s core belief: “If you think you can make a difference and the fire is in your soul, go ahead and take your stand and if you can’t, let it go.”Can't make the show? The band has arranged a live stream via its website. Infamous Stringdusters, 9:30 p.m. Tuesday ($18/advance, $20/day-of-show) and Wednesday February 12 for the 30th Annual Sweethogs & Swinehearts Ball ($25) at the Mangy Moose in Teton Village.
