Hey friends and neighbors...we got our Deering Banjos Wood Room Session video up on YouTube. Thanks to Jamie Deering and her crew at Deering Banjos. We shot this back in October the afternoon before we went and played a show with Front Country at Winston’s OB (look for us at Winston’s again on Friday April 12th opening for Old Salt Union!!!). Here’s our title track Hometown Blues from the Deering Banjos Wood Room featuring Jason Fredrik Weiss on his Deering Banjo.

At the time of this blogging, we are up to 3400 views on our last faceBook Live Stream. Here's three original tunes: Orion's Highs & Lows, Mark's Righteous Path, and Randy with More White House Blues.

From the Dec-Jan 2018 Bluegrass Soundboard, a publication of the Southwest Bluegrass Association [southwestbluegrass.org]:

MohaviSoul’s New EP Hometown Blues is A soulful American journey of storytelling within great melodies, instrumental prowess woven with great harmonies, and blended into original Contemporary Bluegrass & Americana that will get you singing and dancing!!

Thanks to Danny McCloskey for the review in the On the Radar section of The Alternate Root 

"​​MohaviSoul (from the album Hometown Blues) 
The storytelling of MohaviSoul is backed by traditional Bluegrass soaked in California Country. At the heart of the band are founders Randy Hanson (mandolin, vocals), a fifth generation SoCal native, and Mark Miller (guitar, vocals) adding in his West Virginia Roots. The band tribute their desert home and Hometown Blues, their latest release, provides a soundtrack for all sides of love from its promises (“Stay Tuned”) to matters of the heart that go right (“On My Way”, “Dozen Roses”) and go wrong (“Contrary Lovers”, “Dirty Shame”). MohaviSoul capture the excitement of a live performance on Hometown Blues as the band pay homage to vinyl (“Lay That Needle Down”), libations (“Drinker’s Lament”), perseverance (“Gettie Up”), and the need to keep on trucking (“Until I Go”)."
