The Fretliners – When The Kettle Sings (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
The Fretliners arrived in the acoustic string world the way the best bands always do, by making something that sounds like nothing else while still feeling completely rooted. Winning both Telluride and RockyGrass in the same year is the kind of thing that turns heads in this community, and *When The Kettle Sings* is the follow-up that answers the question of whether the debut was a fluke. It isn't.
The Fretliners are a band defined by their songwriting—stories carried by powerful harmonies, dynamic arrangements, and a sound that feels both timeless and new. Their music leans into the tradition of acoustic string instruments but reaches well beyond genre, resonating with listeners through honesty and craft. In 2023, they swept both the Telluride Bluegrass and RockyGrass band competitions—an achievement matched only once before. That fall, their debut self-titled album earned widespread acclaim, praised for its originality and heartfelt lyricism. With songs that balance tradition and innovation, The Fretliners continue to chart a bold path forward, creating music that connects as deeply on record as it does on stage.
