The World Famous Grassholes will release their new single, “Sad Song Medley (Blue Ridge Cabin / Old Home Place)” on August 25 to all major streaming platforms. The tune, a mash-up of bluegrass classics “Blue Ridge Cabin Home,” first recorded by Flatt & Scruggs, and “Old Home Place,” first recorded by the Dillards, features three different lead vocalists in a unique arrangement that is sure to delight fans of old-time bluegrass. 

The band will celebrate the song’s release with a concert August 28, at the Poland Springs Resort, in Poland Springs, ME, at 6 p.m. The show will serve also as the rousing conclusion to the band’s 2023 Gazebo Tour of Maine, which saw them play 9 town gazebos in front of more than 1000 total fans. The band suggest a $10 donation to the Poland Springs Historical Society. 

As a follow-up to the band’s highly touted album, “Gently Used,” released this spring, “Sad Song Medley” finds the veteran band at their best, with wonderfully blended harmonies in the choruses, blistering banjo breaks, and a pair of fiddle breaks that will break your heart.
