Our new album 'Rise Sun' dropped last week. Read all about the making of the album cover from Denver photographer and ISD friend J.Mimna Photography. "This was probably my favorite day of 2018, not only was I shooting my friends at the greatest venue on earth, but we were also shooting a cover for their next album! What more can you ask for? We used the empty 3rd green room in the top of the stage right tower as our portrait studio for the day. I set up a full light rig with backdrop beforehand so that as soon as the band exited the stage from soundcheck we could shoot the portraits for the album cover. It worked out very well, the band was already in show mode and had their game faces on plus they were jacked up with the energy of just sound-checking at Red Rocks, so their spirits were perfect for photoshoot. As we shot those images I had that funny feeling like something bigger than that moment was happening, we were giving a face to their new musical baby......it felt that good. One of their managers Phil was talking to me about concept ideas they had for the album cover art and the 3 main elements would be the band, the sun, and a hand drawn or painted type mountain landscape backdrop. Right away I thought of my past night photography of the moon, by using long exposure and stopping my lens way down I could create starbursts from the light of the overexposed moon, making it look just like the sun. So I explained this to Phil, and mentioned the "supermoon" that would happen a few days after the Red Rocks show would be the perfect time capture our sun. He liked the idea and the results are a sun with a most unlikely backstory. The Stringdusters are definitely one of my favorite groups to work with right now. First of all, its music first with them, which I appreciate on so many levels. That said they really embrace the show business part of the job and keep the stage presence fun and fresh, they don't just rinse and repeat the same show day in and day out. This makes my images look new and unique each night, your not seeing the same emotions or lack there in, they feed my creative side with surprises and passion that pushes me harder too. They really elevate my game every show with their energy and inspiration. For that I thank them. Not only are each and every band member super chill to work with (and not to mention good-looking, which elevates my work), their crew is spot-on professionals from top to bottom. A Stringdusters show runs like a fine-tuned watch and that makes my job a lot easier." ~ Jim Mimna

[ICYMI] Our new album 'Rise Sun' dropped yesterday. Thanks to The Bluegrass Situation for getting the word out!

Buy/Listen Now --> http://smarturl.it/ISD-RiseSun-Album We are beyond excited to share this new album with all of you guys! Making a new album is such an exciting process for us, and one that we've learned to embrace much more deeply over thew years. We are all creators, players, writers, singers, producers, etc. Trying to incorporate all that energy into one cohesive piece of art is a deep process, but ultimately the most formative time of growth that we experience as a band. It's the time when we select and introduce our best new songs, and also evolve our collective instrumental skills to suit those songs. We also get to craft the message that our music carries, and we find ourselves pushing further down the path of inspiration and positivity, truth and love. That's what we are all about and that's what we hope to inspire. This album is the next chapter of Stringduster music, and we couldn't be more proud of it. Hope you guys enjoy! ~ Chris Pandolfi
