| New Release: Award-Winning Grascals To Release New Album, Keep On Walkin', on July 15 |
 karenbyrdpr wrote:  Nashville, TN -- The Grascals, one of the most critically-acclaimed and dynamic groups in bluegrass music today, and the reigning IBMA (International Bluegrass Music Association) Entertainers of the Year for the last two years, will release their third studio album for Rounder Records, Keep On Walkin', on July 15. The 12-song, self-produced album is the group's first release in two years. It crystallizes the sound introduced and developed on the band's first two Grammy®-nominated releases—traditional bluegrass and country music, both original and classic songs, all delivered with vocal and instrumental intensity and virtuosity. Timely and timeless, The Grascals' music is entirely relevant to the here and now, yet based on a deeply-seeded knowledge of and admiration for the music's founding fathers.

| Education: Scholarships awarded to Steve Kaufmans Acoustic Kamp |
 BMNN wrote: Harry Moore informs us that The Dreadnoughts Unlimited Selection Panel has met and has selected five awardees for scholarships this year to Steve Kaufman's Acoustic Kamp. Dreadnoughts Unlimited was formed at the turn of the century as a means to provide scholarships to Steve Kaufman's Acoustic Kamps for "eager, needy flatpickers", and a couple of years ago, we expanded the field to include all sessions of SKAK, not just flatpicking guitar. To date, we have awarded scholarships to fiddlers and bassists as well as flatpickers. This year, we have three guitar flatpickers, one mandolin player, and one banjo player that will be going to kamp, thanks to your donations. You can go to duscholar.home.mchsi.com for information on all the awardees.
