Eight Gigs: The Infamous Stringdusters

The Infamous Stringdusters are currently touring in support of newly released Laws of Gravity, its eighth album since first appearing on the bluegrass scene in 2007. It hardly can be called a strictly bluegrass outfit, as it has always varied its artistic approach, sometimes nodding toward bluegrass roots and other times pushing toward something else. This appears to be part of its draw, creatively exploring the edges of this genre in part by collaborating with others like Ryan Adams, Bruce Hornsby, Joan Osborne and Nicki Bluhm, and by consistently bringing new songs to life. 2708 J Street, www.thestringdusters.com.
