Michael Cleveland & Flamekeeper are proud to announce their new CD on Rounder Records, Fired Up , is available worldwide today! Fired Up is the band's second project for Rounder Records and Michael Cleveland's fourth recording for the premiere bluegrass label.


With numerous industry awards under their belt, including eight for IBMA's Fiddle Player of the Year and one for SPBGMA's Fiddle Performer of the Year (Michael Cleveland), four for IBMA's Instrumental Group of the Year, two for IBMA's Bass Player of the Year (Marshall Wilborn) and one for IBMA's Mandolin Player of the Year(Jesse Brock), Michael Cleveland & Flamekeeper could be basking in their achievements.  Instead, they're "Fired Up"!  One of the finest hard-driving bluegrass bands today delivers again on this Jeff White and Michael Cleveland co-produced album.  As the liner notes say: "Michael himself is the bit of plutonium at the core of this particular reactor, one of the greatest improvising violin players in any style; each solo is on fire, and just jaw-droppingly creative.  The musicians in Flamekeeper are all spectacular and this coalition of amazing individuals truly achieves lift-off, and a kind of transcendence." (from the notes by Matt Glaser, Artistic Director, American Roots Music Program, Berklee College of Music).

Michael Cleveland & Flamekeeper's Fired Up on Rounder Records is available today wherever great music is sold.  For more information on the band and their new CD, please visit www.FlamekeeperBand.com or www.Rounder.com.
