Greetings...
We have lots to report about the release of my newest CD (including a special debut on XM satellite radio) and more, so I hope you'll spend a few minutes with us.

Crowd Favorites, new CD from Claire LynchNew CD released October 9; order now!

My newest recording project, Crowd Favorites, was released on October 9th. I wish I could have had all of you in one spot for a photo: it would have definitely made the cover. (If you were at Brushy Creek Bluegrass Festival in Arley, AL circa 1981, perhaps you are on the cover: check it out!).

I do want to thank those of you who wrote and requested tunes for this collection. The CD has four new CLB recordings: favorites from the Front Porch String Band days, and ten classics from my Rounder catalog. Here's the song list:

I'm delighted to have these fan faves all in one place, and especially thrilled to present the first recordings of the current Claire Lynch Band: Missy and Jim, who are themselves "crowd favorites," and our great new band member, Jason Thomas.

If you'd like to order, just visit the store. And you'll also see that we have a sale on CLB t-shirts: 35% off!

Comin' up!

Congratulations to Jim and Missy for IBMA nominations this year at the IBMA World of Bluegrass in Nashville. I'm honored to be nominated also. A win for us this year would mean 3 Guitar Player of the Year awards for Jim; 7 Bass Player of the Year awards for Missy, and 2 Female Vocalist of the Year awards for me. Think positive for us!

The CLB will be appearing several times at IBMA. Missy's band, too! Here are our appearances:

Right after IBMA, we'll be back out on the road - the great state of Florida first - and then up the East Coast, back to Connecticut, New York and Virginia. Check out the October dates on our schedule page.

It feels great to be winding down from summer. For me, new songs are in the air, dropping from the trees like leaves. From Nashville, I wish you happy days as you embark on the next season and that anxiously-awaited cool fall breeze!
