Releases by past US visitors

Fast Track (with Ron Spears and Jesse Brock the members best known to Irish audiences from past visits) released today their first album, Fast Track. You can hear 30-second samples of all tracks in the review on Bluegrass Today by John Curtis Goad, who ends with the words: 'you’ll definitely want to add Fast Track to the top of your "to listen to" pile.'
