Urban Monroes-4th of July Update-Is it just me or does the backyard smell like gun powder?





Well, either it's the Fourth of July or someone is trying to blow up the neighborhood. My concern is that those things may not be mutually exclusive. But by the rockets red glare and with the bombs bursting in air, it's an exciting time for an Urban Monroes' update...especially since sleeping is out of the question any time soon.

 
June has come and gone and we look back on a wonderful month. Our new CD "Pavement and Pathways" spent 3 consecutive weeks on the RMR Top 50 Bluegrass Chart and all four weeks in the Top 10 on the APD Global Bluegrass Albums Chart with seven singles in the Top 50 Bluegrass Singles chart. We were also in the APD Top 50 Albums for all genres in the last week and on the Top Artist of June Fok Music Airplay Chart: A very successful CD release! Besides that...Just got back from a great week at the festival in Weiser. We all needed showers ...badly!...and a lot of sleep!
