CHATHAM COUNTY LINE

Come 2024, Chatham County Line will have been a staple of the acoustic music scene for two and a half decades. Embracing the heart-worn songwriting and rough-hewn voice of leader Dave Wilson the band has graced stages across the world sharing their original blend of string instrumentation, three part harmony and story based songwriting.

With a resume of worldwide touring, nine studio albums, collaborative albums with both Judy Collins and Jonas Fjeld, live albums and numerous television appearances, CCL is presently gearing up to release their 10th studio album in January of 2024.  Where 2020's Strange Fascination pushed open the modern door for CCL, the upcoming record really states the case that the electric sound is here to stay.  For a band that spent their first 15 years performing around a single microphone, CCL has found new inspiration in all of the sounds the world has to offer.  "Synthesizers, drum machines, effect pedals. . .the world is really open to what constitutes folk music and as a songwriter I am grabbing on to that inspiration with both hands and not letting go" says leader Dave Wilson.  With such a rich catalog to pull from and the strength of new work to come, let's hope the band: Dave Wilson (acoustic & electric guitars, harmonica), John Teer (mandolin, fiddle), Greg Readling (Standup Bass, Pedal Steel) and Dan Hall (percussion) keeps their grip and never lets go.
