Hey Everybody!
Well another year is winding down for the band, and I have to say that 2009 was one of the most productive years that we have had in a while. We had a new cd released on Rural Rhythm Records, we had a very successful west coast tour back in the spring. All or our showdates were up this year with 2010 looking to be even stronger. In October we were delighted to be nominated for 3 IBMA awards, Entertainer Of The Year, Vocal Group Of The Year, and once again Russell was nominated for Male Vocalist Of The Year. The night was capped off by once again being asked to perform on the award show. We performed the song Hard Rock Mountain Prison (Til I Die). This was the first time that we had played on the award show as a band since 2000. It was a great year and we look forward to seeing you at our concerts in 2010. Please keep checking our schedule page, as we will do our best to keep it updated.
We are pleased to announce that our latest single, Hard Rock Mountain Prison (Til I Die), is the #1 song on the Bluegrass Unlimited Top 30 singles chart for the month of December. This is our fourth #1 song on this particular chart, and it has been 12 years since we last had a song go all the way to the top. Hard Rock Mountain Prison (Til I Die) is also #1 for the month of December on the Bluegrass Music Profiles Magazine Top 30 Hot Singles chart and the CD, 'Russell Moore & IIIrd Tyme Out', reached #1 on the Bluegrass Music Profiles top 10 CD chart for the months of August AND October!! We are so proud of this and it's certainly a great honor and we want to thank all of the fans who requested this song on radio and all the DJs for playing it! Also the latest self-titled cd is number three on the Bluegrass Unlimited album chart!
