Colorado tour finished, new album released!

Hello!

We are done with our big, grand Colorado tour! I can hardly believe that three months has come and gone and its now time to hit the road back to North Carolina!

We met so many wonderful people, saw so many old friends, and had such a good time. We finished up our big tour by attending Rocky Grass! After all the hard work it was good to listen to some amazing music, hang out in the sun, pick with friends and float down the river.

With this tour's ending, we've got some good news and some sad news as well. I'll start with the sad so I can lift your spirits with the good.

After a wonderful three months, Jessica and James have decided to move back to Colorado, settle down and pursue careers that are non music related. We're sad to see them go and they will be greatly missed!


You can look for AC & Narrow Gauge with such talented friends such as:

Multi-instrumentalist, Billy Gilmore has toured and played with groups such as The Hickory Project, The Grass is Dead, Stonehouse, Crazy Fingers, The Stains of Grass, and Aquaphonics. He has shared the stage with many incredible musicians such as Sam Bush, Peter Rowan, Vassar Clements, Drew Emmit and many more


After stepping onto the Colorado music scene in 2003 as part of the award winning, Broke Mountain Bluegrass Band, Jon Stickley, has been making waves through the bluegrass world. The Durham, NC native has since returned to his home state to play professionally with well known bands including, The Biscuit Burners, New Vintage, and The Colorado Playboys. His well rounded abilities and good nature have earned him a reputation as one of the best up and coming musicians in the buisness. Jon currently lives in Asheville, NC and plays with the Shannon Whitworth Band, The Colorado Playboys, New Vintage and The Time Bandits.

Courtney Hartman grew up in Norther Colorado. Her musicial journey started at 3, when she got her first fiddle. A few years later, she picked up the mandolin and joined Mandomonium, a mandolin orchestra. At 11, she found her love for bluegrass guitar when her daddy asked learn "Blackberry Blossom" on one so that she could teach it to him. That exercise inspired her, and within the next year she won two flatpick contests. She began writing her own music and performing throughout the U.S. with her siblings in their band, The Hartmans. Throughout high school, she continued to perform with the band and taught music lessons to more than 30 students. In 2008 she went to Slovakia with a bluegrass band to represent the U.S at an international folk festival.
