The Infamous Stringdusters have announced plans for an exciting two-night Halloween extravaganza at Denver’s Fillmore Auditorium entitled Big Top Halloween. Set for Friday, October 28 and Saturday, October 29, the shows will feature special guests funky Meters and The Magic Beans (Friday night) and Keller Williams’ Grateful Grass and The Lil’ Smokies (Saturday night). Fan pre-sale tickets go up today, July 12, and general on-sale is this Friday, July 15.

“We’re thrilled to be joined by friends and legends for this year’s Duster Halloween shows,” says the band’s Andy Hall. “Two nights at the Fillmore – Denver. Dusters with funky Meters, and the Magic Beans on Friday, and Keller Williams’ Grateful Grass and The Lil’ Smokies on Saturday. This year’s Halloween will be our biggest and baddest yet!” The Infamous Stringdusters will serve as Williams’ backing band as part of the Grateful Grass ensemble; they did the honors earlier this summer at the sold-out, 2200-seat Pisgah Brewing Company in North Carolina.

The Grammy-nominated acoustic five-piece–Andy Hall (dobro), Andy Falco (guitar), Chris Pandolfi (banjo), Jeremy Garrett (fiddle), and Travis Book (upright bass)–are touring in support of their widely acclaimed Ladies & Gentlemen album, which features all original Stringdusters songs with an array of standout female singers like Lee Ann Womack, Nicki Bluhm, Joss Stone and more. The modern bluegrass virtuosos kicked off their summer tour with an epic show at Colorado’s famed Red Rocks Amphitheater in early May, and have been on the road non-stop since.

The Stringdusters also recently were invited by Ryan Adams to support him at the Telluride Bluegrass Festival and will join him again later this month at the Newport Folk Festival, along with Nicki Bluhm. Check out Rolling Stone coverage here.

At Red Rocks, the band played to one of their biggest non-festival audiences ever and treated their fans to a 90-minute concert that included special guests LEE ANN WOMACK (on “I Believe” and “The Way I’m Living”) and NICKI BLUHM (“See How Far You’ve Come,” “Run To Heaven,” “Somebody To Love and “Not Fade Away”). Both singers are featured on the new album Ladies & Gentlemen, which was released earlier this year (February 5, Compass Records) to much critical acclaim.

Nate Todd

Nate Todd was born on the central plains of Nebraska, but grew up on the high plains of the Texas panhandle. With not much to do in either place, music was his constant companion. His parents dubbed the first two albums he ever owned onto a tape for him. Side A was Bert and Ernie’s Sing Along. Side B was Sgt. Peppers. His lifelong love affair with music started early as he practically grew up in a Rock & Roll band, with his father and uncle often taking him out on the road or into the studio with them. Nate began performing live at sixteen and hasn’t looked back, having played in numerous bands from L.A. to Austin. At the age of twenty he was bitten by the writing bug, and upon moving to Denver decided to pursue a degree from Metropolitan State University where he recently graduated with a B.A. in English and a minor in Cinema Studies.
