Town Mountain Releases "Steady Operator" CD

Pinecastle is also announcing the release of Town Mountain's new album Steady Operator. The album is the first release from the label since current owner Dr. Lonnie Lassiter acquired it in August 2010. The album was cut live in the studio to capture some of that live energy that audiences all over the country have been raving about. Most of the material on the album is original, written by band members, creating a pool of fresh sounds unique to the band.

Town Mountain brings a unique energy to the label with their mix of mostly original material that creates a hard-driving, no nonsense, foot stomping bluegrass sound mixed with slow country crooning and a honkytonk edge. Town Mountain safely brings it all together in a way that has wowed not only their local Asheville, NC music scene but also crowds across the country since their first national tour in 2005, which they capped off by winning the prestigious Rockygrass Band Competition. Town Mountain features Phil Barker (mandolin, vocals), Robert Greer (guitar, vocals), Jesse Langlais (banjo, vocals), Bobby Britt (fiddle), and Jon Stickley (bass, vocals).

Town Mountain recently performed several sets at Merlefest 2011 including one backing Jim Lauderdale during his bluegrass set. The band is not new to the touring circuit and have been touring nationally since 2005 when they won the Rockygrass band competition.

"This album is a culmination of thousands of miles traveled across America, playing for audiences as diverse as the traditional bluegrass crowd to the hippie jam band contingent in big cities and festivals to pubs and house concerts. Diverse audiences that have one thing in common, a love for inspired, original, well played music, performed with a spirit that appeals to fans of all types and ages." -Mike Bub, Steady Operator Producer and Grammy winner (Del McCoury Band)
