Faultlines is a hard-driving newgrass band that plays original innovative compositions and traditional bluegrass classics, all woven together with powerful vocal harmony, intricate instrumentation, and a performance synergy that brings audiences to their feet. Faultlines formed in June 2006 from the ashes of bluegrass favorites Riders in Disguise, which actively performed to capacity crowds throughout Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky and Illinois from 2003 to 2005, and features Ryan Deasy on bass, Michael Lindeau on fiddle, Toby Oler on banjo and Chris Padgett on guitar. The new lineup was cemented with a name change and the addition of Alaskan Fiddle champion Lindeau and the reintroduction of resident guitar bogeyman Padgett to the lineup. Faultlines is preparing to release a self-titled EP this spring and, in its short time together, has appeared on festival stages and radio programs in the Midwest region.

Howdy Faultlines! I wanted to drop you a note to thank you for taking the time to accept us as your friend, and listening to our music. We appreciate the gesture and are grateful that you enjoyed our tunes enough to add us to your community of friends. After all, having people connect with our music is why we do this. I hope you'll come by often to say hello and let us know what's happening with you, and when you have a spare moment, please visit our brand new webpage at www. crosstimbersbluegrass. com there you can listen to more of our music and find out more about us. Feel free to sign the guestbook! (And if you have any ideas about how we could improve the webpage, be sure to let us know)
All my best and thank you again, Matt (the bass player) Cross Timbers
Hello there! If I've already been in touch on this please bear with me but I'm trying to get the word out about www. indianapolissongwriterscafe. com
I'm working to create a place that ties together all the people, places & events that are relevant for an Indianapolis songwriter or a fan of this kind of music. There's also a community calendar (that needs a lot of dates added to it) that will soon be a one-stop shop for any songwriterish shows going on around Indy.
If you'd really like to help spread the word I'd be grateful as can be if you copied the little piece of code from either the ISC website or myspace page to display the banner on your page. Just drop me a line if you'd like to but aren't sure how.
Just want to remind everybody that your old buddy Cary Allen Fields will now be hosting The Free Zone every Saturday night from midnight-2AM from here on out. I will be followed by Tim D. spinning some good old Grateful Dead from 2-3AM. As you might expect, I will be leaning towards Americana and roots in the playlist. And you had better bet you are going to hear you some local artists (as in, FAULTLINES!!!) when you tune in every week. WICR 88.7FM Better Living Through Independent Radio.
Hi Guys, It's great that you take me on your space ship.LOL. Love your songs and great picking. Just go on with the goooood work. Much support. Birdy-Truus, The Netherlands.
We're sick up and fed and tired of not having a consistent indoor venue here in Indy for the red-headed stepchild of the music scene that is Americana and good acoustic music. After 5 years of beating our heads against said wall we're taking suggestions (but not prisoners) as to how we might work within the community to establish a place to see bluegrass, folk, traditional country, western swing, gypsy jazz, old-time, Celtic, cajun, or some good ol' country blues any old night of the week. And... Would a Birchmere, Old Town School of Folk, or Station Inn approach be more your group's critter of choice?
Happy Bill Monroe's Birthday!!! See everyone at the 33rd Annual Uncle Pen Days at Bean Blossom next week, we can celebrate then. Airing a program featuring artists playing the festival this Friday evening at 9PM on WICR 88.7FM, buddy.
HELP PUT THE STANLEY BROTHERS IN THE COUNTRY MUSIC HALL OF FAME!
Ralph Stanley has received many well-deserved honors in the last few years, yet one honor eludes him. While many of their fellow musicians and singers have been recognized by The Country Music Hall of Fame, THE STANLEY BROTHERS have been sadly -- some say criminally -- overlooked.
Jeanie Stanley, youngest daugher of Carter, and fan Kaye Hill have organized an on-going petition to change all that.
"The Country Music Hall of Fame recognizes those persons who have made a significant contribution to the country music field," says Hill. "The Stanley Brothers helped lay the foundation for what we have today. Their names deserve to be listed among greats like Bill Monroe and Flatt & Scruggs, who have already be recognized."
You can join their efforts in one of the following ways:
Contact the CMHoF directly:
Mr. Kyle Young, President
Country Music Hall of Fame & Museum
222 Fifth Avenue South
Nashville TN 37203
Or, if you prefer, you can send a letter to Kaye Hill, who will forward them to the HoF.
D. Kaye Hill
PO Box 2553
Harrisonsonburg VA 22801
Kay says, "a simple one-line note is all that would be required, but please remember to supply your name and address, and an email address if applicable. I will be collecting all letters and forwarding them to the Country Music Hall of Fame."
