NEW! Debut album by Andy Leftwich

Every so often, a young musician commands the stage with an amazing display of talent that turns heads and ears. Andy Leftwich is the latest. Best known for his blazing solos as the fiddler in Ricky Skaggs' band, Kentucky Thunder, Andy steps into a spotlight of his own with his debut instrumental album, RIDE. Backed by a crack team of accomplished musicians, Andy delivers passionate instrumental performances on the fiddle and mandolin through a range of acoustic bluegrass musical styles.

Take a listen to samples of "Leaving New Hampshire", "Minor Swing" or "Melee On The Backstretch". From tender ballads to uptempo "barn burners", this album is the perfect musical backdrop to your lifestyle - so, wherever you go and whatever you do, take Andy Leftwich along for the RIDE.
