The new album from Tony Trischka, Great Big World, is now available for pre-order on Amazon! We asked Tony some questions about this album in our recent interview, so we're very excited to see it all coming together. It won't officially be out until February 4th, but you can reserve your copy today. As a bonus for his students here, Tony will be recording a new lesson based on one of the new tunes. All the more reason to reserve your copy now! Click on the image to pre-order Great Big World from Amazon.
"Here likeminded creative musicians (Steve Martin, Aoife O Donovan, Noam Pikelny, Larry Campbell, Abigail Washburn, Ramblin Jack Elliot, and many others) are brought together to receive Tony's clear mandate: inhabit a song and make it your own. Who else but Tony Trischka would dare to include a Single String Medley, just what it sounds like, and also have the imagination and verve to pull it off!"
