notes

Bawn in the Mash is set to release their 3rd independent album 'Confluence' January 17, 2009. Produced by Chris Henry and recorded August 11-17 at Bawn in the Mash world headquarters in Paducah, the album once again will feature the artwork & design of Darin Shock, and contain all new original material performed by Bawn in the Mash. A confluence is defined as the flowing together of two or more streams. With producer Chris Henry at the helm, Confluence takes listeners on a trip down distributary into uncharted waters, channeling wavelengths & frequencies previously unheard or recorded. With the release of Confluence, Bawn in the Mash will have published over 60 original compositions with Wes Kaintuck Music (BMI), their independently owned publishing company. In addition, mandolinists Tommy Oliverio and Chris Henry are set to release two albums at the beginning of 2009: Whoever You Want it to Be, a collection of insta-instrumental compositions recorded by the duo, and Sadie's Inner Thoughts, a compilation album. Bawn in the Mash's first release, Welcome to the Atomic City (2006), was produced & recorded by the legendary Col. Dan Knowles. Welcome to the Atomic City is a collection of 12 original compositions that historically interpret & fictitiously describe events that have occurred during the last 150 years in Western Kentucky. Living downtown Paducah, the group spent much time absorbing inspiration from the Ohio, Tennessee, and Clarks Rivers. Songs like Land Between the Rivers, Paducah, Past the Painted Wall, The Nuclear Waltz, & At the Hotel Irvin Cobb pay tribute to a land faded & forgotten in favor of the notion of progress in America. Regionalistically conceptual, the album is highly textured in local vibrations . During the recording of Welcome to the Atomic City, the band frequently showcased the material aboard the Delta Queen Steamboat and River Barge Explorer. Produced by Grammy winning recording engineer Phil Harris, Hurry Up and Wait was recorded in May 2007 at Battle Ridge Studio, located outside Nashville, Tennessee. Spending two weeks at Battle Ridge was creatively stimulating, resulting in an album featuring 16 original compositions with special guest appearances by Donnie Herron (BR5-49, Bob Dylan Band) Tyler Grant (Drew Emmitt Band, Emmitt Nershi Band, Tavern Grass), and Chris Black. Two weeks before the recording session, Multi-instrumentalist Brey McCoy joined the band, learning most of the material on tour and in the studio. Still in their first month of utilizing electricity, BitM had developed a unique genre fusing sound that appears throughout Hurry Up and Wait. Bawn in the Mash went on to perform 110 shows in 2007, sharing the stage with Peter Rowan, Tony Rice, Vince Herman, New Riders of the Purple Sage, John Cowan Band, Larry Keel and Natural Bridge, Jamie Hartford, Justin Townes Earle, Donnie Herron, Tyler Grant, Great American Taxi, Wayward Sons, New Monsoon, and many others, ending the year with two sold out Station Inn performances with Casey Driessen. In June of 2008, the song Little Piece of Paper was featured in Global Rhythm Magazine. In addition, Josh Coffey's name made its big screen debut in the Mike Myers movie 'The Love Guru'. If you listen closely, you can hear his fiddle on Foggy Mountain Breakdown during the bar fight scene. Nathan Blake Lynn's solo debut Two Catfish and a Bluegill was released August 21, 2008, and features 17 original tracks from the Paducah, Kentucky native and Bawn in the Mash guitarist.

    I bought this as a gift for my brother, but really enjoyed it myself! It came really quickly before I had to give it to him. I was really impressed with process on here.

    author: Matthew

    With a unique sound, original songs, and mind-bending instrumentals, it's obvious this band isn't afraid to stretch the limits of bluegrass music. I only wish I hadn't stumbled upon them so recently... feel like I've been missing out!

  • Great Album

    I recommend Bawn In The Mash to anyone who appreciates bluegrass and progressive music. This new album seems to explore the 'jam band' aspect of their developing sound and it is fantastic!
