Tonal sparkle that flirts with frenzy...

The Next Chapter guides you on a musical journey with tunes cultivated from the roots of Ancient Celtic lands and transported to America’s own shores. While the Old-Time traditions that blossomed from those Scotch-Irish roots paved the way for a brand new style known as Bluegrass, cutting edge artists of today, such as the Next Chapter, inspire fans to create a new vocabulary with terms such as “neo-Celtic” or “New Grass. While their music is steeped in traditions of old, the band has ultimately transformed those traditions into a high powered style that is all its own. The Next Chapter’s explosive and high-energy music of today lays the foundation for acoustic music of tomorrow.
