Details:
Bluegrass for the Front Range of Northern Colorado and beyond... The award-winning Lonesome Traveler Bluegrass Band features tight two and three part harmonies and original songwriting from mandolinist Jodi Boyce, guitarist Dustin Scott, and dobroist Ansel Foxley, great fingerstyle guitar from Rick Scott, smooth fiddle from Chad Fisher, and solid dawg-house bass from Evan Neal. LTBB is rooted in the great traditions of bluegrass, but our sound reflects influences from blues, folk, rock and roll, traditional country and Celtic music. LTBB counts among our influences such diverse artists as Gillian Welch, Tim O'Brien, Natalie Merchant, Del McCoury, Led Zeppelin, Bill Monroe, Hot Rize, Red Hot Chili Peppers, John Denver, Dolly Parton and the Nashville Bluegrass Band.

LTBB came together for Chad's wedding in 2005 and quickly became known in the bluegrass hotbed of the Front Range of Colorado as an up and coming band. LTBB entered the Telluride and RockyGrass Bluegrass Band contests in 2007 - placing 2nd in both contests, a feat never before accomplished by one band in the same calendar year. LTBB also placed 2nd in the 2006 Wickenburg Bluegrass Festival Band contest. Individual awards for the band include 1st place Specialty Duet for Jodi and Dustin at the 2006 Wickenburg Bluegrass Festival, and 1st place Dobro for Ansel at 2007 RockyGrass Festival.

LTBB is touring and playing festivals in 2008 in support of their second album, "Listen to that Sound". Featuring mostly original songs from LTBB members, "Listen To That Sound" was recorded and produced by Aaron Youngberg (The Billy Pilgrims, formerly Hit and Run Bluegrass) of Swingfingers Recording Studios, Ft. Collins, Colorado, and showcases the originality of our lineup and songs. LTBB's first album, the self-titled âLonesome Traveler Bluegrass Band,â released in 2006, was also produced and recorded by Aaron Youngberg.
