Deeper Shade of Blue

North Carolina can once again be credited for producing great bluegrass. Hailing from just east of Charlotte, Deeper Shade of Blue includes Troy Pope (guitar/vocals), Frank Poindexter (dobro/vocals), Scott Burgess (bass/vocals), Milom Williams II (mandolin/vocals), and Steve Wilson (banjo). The band has been together for 21 years, has self-produced six albums, had a very successful 2018 release with "Steam," on Mountain Fever Records, and are back in the studio wrapping up their next album now, due to release in 2021. A quick search on Facebook or YouTube will no doubt prove why this band has been a favorite in bluegrass for so long. With their signature tight harmonies, dynamic instrumentation and energetic stage show, they’ve been lauded as one of the best touring groups in the industry and one that festivals have added to their lineup year after year.

BRAND NEW SINGLE-Releases May 5th on Pinecastle Records.

COUNTRY STANDARD TIME SAYS "Solid songwriting and musicianship, as well as vocal harmony and diversity prove that these bluegrass boys definitely have enough "STEAM" to pull the train a long, long way."

BLUEGRASS UNLIMITED calls A Deeper Shade of Blue a “best kept secret” and says "the vocals on this album are certainly solid.....and it's obvious that there is no weak link on instruments—each break is crisp and clean and comes in at just the right time, while the backing of the vocalist is expertly crafted."
