Arden, North Carolina (October 25, 2018) — Known for great songwriting and an ever-evolving modern Bluegrass sound, Chris Jones & The Night Drivers have seen noted success this fall. With several weeks at the top of the Bluegrass Todayradio charts and 2 consecutive months at #1 for their single “Bend in the Road,”written by Jones and bandmate and award winning writer Jon Weisberger, the group is back in the studio to complete the upcoming release on which this major hit will be included. Yet to be titled, and slated for a Spring 2019 release, this album promises to bring more compelling and powerful music from this top band to roots music fans.

Jones tells us “We’ve been thrilled by the response to ‘Bend in the Road,’ which I guess is our little slice of bluegrass optimism. It’s one of our favorites to play while on tour, too. In mid-November, we’ll wrap up the rest of our forthcoming album, which will feature almost entirely original material, with contributions from all band members. We’re expanding the scope of our writing with this new project, and we’ll also include an ‘80s pop cover, which is uncharacteristic for us. We’re grateful for the support we’ve received.

Mountain Home congratulated the group on their radio chart-topping success with a commemorative plaque and celebration during their recent recording session. The group’s current radio single, “Who You Want Me To Be,” co-written by Jones and bandmate and 2018 Banjo Player of the Year nominee Gina Furtado, is following the same path as “Bend,” quickly gaining heavy radio airplay.
