Flatt Lonesome has signed with Rounder Records.
Since the band’s 2013 debut, Flatt Lonesome — Kelsi Robertson Harrigill (mandolin/vocals), Buddy Robertson (guitar/vocals), Charli Robertson (fiddle/vocals), Paul Harrigill (banjo), Dominic Illingworth (bass), and Michael Stockton (dobro) — has amassed an impressive array of honors from the International Bluegrass Music Association, Society for the Preservation of Bluegrass Music in America, and the Dove Awards.
“All of us at Rounder are thrilled to be working with Flatt Lonesome, one of the most charismatic and creative young groups around,” said Rounder co-founder Ken Irwin. “They have made an original mark in bluegrass today, are rising stars of their generation, and bring their own vision to the bluegrass world and beyond.”
“To say that we are excited about this partnership would be an understatement,” said the group. “Since day one we’ve had a list of goals we wanted to achieve and ‘signing with Rounder’ was at the very top of that list. Becoming label mates with some of our heroes is a dream come true and we’re honored to say the least. We are all looking forward to the next chapter with Rounder!”
Flatt Lonesome’s captivating live show has made them a favorite on the festival circuit and at the Grand Ole Opry, where they’ve performed more than two dozen times since their Opry debut in 2015. The band plans to go into the studio later this year to record a new album for release in 2019.
