"In an area overflowing with top-shelf bluegrass bands, Raleigh four-piece Old Habits seems to be doing just fine making a name for itself. The fellas have the requisite harmonies, picking skills and influences..." - Rick Cornell, Independent Weekly

The members have similar interests in playing traditional and progressive bluegrass, drawing influences from Old Crow Medicine Show, Tony Rice, Del McCoury, Sam Bush and the Weary Boys. Old Habits has quickly developed a classic sound, fueled by powerful harmonies and strong instrumentals. Expect a fun show filled with a mix of originals, traditional bluegrass & familiar cover songs.

After pre-release tours in Colorado and Georgia, Dehlia Low’s new full-length cd “Tellico” will be presented for the first time in Asheville this Thursday at the Grey Eagle ($8/10, thegreyeagle.com)! Several cuts off the new disk can be heard on at www.myspace.com/dehlialow and live takes of a few of the songs will be performed Thursday afternoon on WNCW 88.7FM. Thursday night’s show will also be a chance for those of you who didn’t make it to Merlefest to hear Lyons, Colorado’s own Spring Creek Bluegrass Band, who are also preparing to release a new disk next month. Dehlia Low will also be joined by “Tellico” producer Jon Stickley of the Shannon Whitworth band. We hope to see you out and thanks for supporting live, original, and local music. CD Release Poster!
