About The Fretliners

Website | Facebook | Instagram | YouTube | Spotify 

The Fretliners are a band defined by their songwriting—stories carried by powerful harmonies, dynamic arrangements, and a sound that feels both timeless and new. Their music leans into the tradition of acoustic string instruments but reaches well beyond genre, resonating with listeners through honesty and craft.

In 2023, they swept both the Telluride Bluegrass and RockyGrass band competitions—an achievement matched only once before. That fall, their debut self-titled album earned widespread acclaim, praised for its originality and heartfelt lyricism.

With songs that balance tradition and innovation, The Fretliners continue to chart a bold path forward, creating music that connects as deeply on record as it does on stage.

About Box of Books

Box of Books is a bluegrass band from Philadelphia, PA. Box of Books combines modern songwriting with an old fashioned sound. Chock-full of literary references, wistful ballads, and a dash of self-deprecating humor, Box of Books' debut album, Expectations, was released in 2018. Appearing as a duo, trio, or as a full-band, the group plays original music as well as cover sets at venues throughout the Philadelphia area. Box of Books' atmospheric, ruminative second album, Second Wind, is available now.
