Album Notes

The Prairie Acre is working to bring old-time music to a new generation. Every time they pick up their stringed instruments, kick off a song and start making their distinctively twangy sound, they’re doing their part to keep alive the pre-MP3, pre-CD, pre-LP era when the best way to enjoy good music was to play it with your friends and neighbors.
The Prairie Acre’s signature sound comes from the rambunctious fiddling of Tricia Spencer (fiddle, vocals), and from members Noah Musser, (banjo, vocals); Greg Yother (guitar, vocals) and Virginia Musser (bass, vocals). They got together in Lawrence, KS in 2002 and quickly built a loyal following among people throughout the Midwest and beyond who liked their family-friendly spirit, down-home flavor and instrumental talent.
The band's fourth CD, a 15-song romp through traditional and original numbers, continues the band’s efforts to explore, adapt and revive songs that are woven into America’s folk-music fabric.
