The authenticity of Sunday Mountain Bluegrass shines through in every note. Many of these tracks have never been released in the bluegrass genre before! Ryan wrote the song "Stop And Pray" from personal experience. Matt developed the arrangement for the song "Where Could I Go?" Adding some jazz/blues and folk flavor to the beloved classic. Eli takes the lead on "Living the Right Life Now" with his old-time clawhammer-style banjo that many loved when he worked for Dolly Parton.
