New River Line - Kentucky Bluegrass Music

About Me

Formed in 2003, New River Line is recognized as one of the few "Original" Bluegrass Bands in the business. They write and perform primarily their own music, which leans toward a traditional flavor of acoustic melody, but their music also hints toward a contemporary flavor as well. To sum it up, they won't be confused with Ralph Stanley, nor New Grass Revival. They have recorded 2 albums to date, the latest "Chasing My Dreams" receiving highly acclaimed recoginition, claiming the 1 Song of The Year on The Americas Bluegrass Charts for 2007. New River Line will be returning to the studio in June of this year to begin work on their 3rd album, which will also be a "All Original" work. The band, over the last four and a half years has toured throughout the United States and abroad, with their first International tour coming in July of 2007. Guitarist and Vocalist Dave Carroll is a well noted songwriter, and provides the band with the vast majority of it's material. His songs have been recorded by bands such as The Lonesome River Band, Lou Reid and Carolina, Blue Moon Rising, and Ernie Thacker and Route 23, just to name a few.
