Joe Mullins & The Radio Ramblers October 2024

Industrial Strength Bluegrass Named IBMA's Event of the Year...AGAIN!!

The Industrial Strength Bluegrass Festival was once again awarded IBMA's Event of the Year during the IBMA Awards ceremony held last month in Raleigh, NC.

We are proud to be the host band for such an amazing event that draws thousands from all over the country to the southwestern region of Ohio. This is the second win for ISB, having first taken the honor in 2022. If you have never been to the Industrial Strength Bluegrass Festival, now would be a great time to consider joining us November 7th, 8th & 9th at the Roberts Centre in Wilmington, OH!

Congratulations to Daniel Mullins on winning IBMA's Liner Notes of the Year for his work on Industrial Strength Bluegrass - Southwestern Ohio's Musical Legacy (Expanded Vinyl Edition.) This project was originally released in 2021 on Smithsonian Folkways Recordings (SFR) and won Album of the Year. In 2024, SFR released the double vinyl LP and Daniel's extensive liner notes were deservedly recognized.

We were in the studio for a couple days last week working on new music, but had to take time for cake in honor of TWO Radio Ramblers who were celebrating birthdays: Chris Davis and Jason Barie! Happy Birthday, Boys!

This Weekend's Shows

We're looking forward to some great shows this weekend in Pennsylvania and our home base of Xenia, OH. Please consider joining us at one of these wonderful events!
