SWBMAI band member Round the Bend celebrates the release of their first CD Sunday, September 30, at the High Noon Saloon. Admission is free and the party kicks off at 4:30 (be there or… well… you know the rest). The self-titled CD includes 17 Bluegrass and Old-Time tunes and features musicians Sherry Crownhart, Mike Cunningham, Don Engelhart, Carolyn Hegeler and Fred Newmann.

Known for a diverse mix of Bluegrass, Old-Timey and Western Swing, and down-home humor, the band has entertained at festivals, concerts, weddings, community events, and parties in Madison and beyond since 2000. From the CD’s liner notes: “The diversity of styles is one of the most appealing aspects of the music heard here…original pieces, old-time hoedowns, bluegrass standards, vintage blues and jazz….You’re going to love what you hear.” —Bill Malone, Country Music Historian
