Bonfire releases “Old Country Store” from Turning Ground
Old Country Store from
Turning Ground is being released worldwide today by South Carolina’s
Bonfire Recording Company and it seems the world could not be more
ready. The album has already debuted in the Top 20 of Traditional
Bluegrass Albums on the Roots Music Report Chart
and has been featured on multiple bluegrass radio programs including
Bob Mitchell’s “Best of Bluegrass” and WNCW’s “Goin Across the
Mountain”. The title track, “Old Country Store” was released earlier
this year as a single and has charted on multiple airplay charts.
Festival
season has been busy for the band and served as a teaser for their
loyal fans as they introduced new material on stage throughout the
Summer. They recently held a pre-CD release party at the Sam Jam
Bluegrass Festival in Piketon, OH at which they sold out of their first
run of CD’s available only to festival attendees. Sam Jam Festival
promoter, Sam Karr had this to say about Turning Ground following the
August event:
“Turning
Ground is a dynamic and versatile bluegrass band originating in
Kentucky. I have been associated with this group since the first time I
saw them live on stage. I was blown away by their stage presence,
versatility, and the excitement they bring to the fans during their
performance. So much so, I hired them on the spot to play my small
festival in Indiana in 2014. When I moved to a larger event, Turning
Ground was a band we decided we would have every year. It’s seldom you
find a band that can play so many types of music, write their own
material, and deliver it in such a passionate way.. A must see.”
