Crystal Bay Casino's Rail Jam Thursdays have become a major attraction. This week, the free Red Room shows continue with bluegrass from The Infamous Stringdusters.

The Infamous Stringdusters represent the cream of the crop of young bluegrass musicians. With Andy Hall on Resonator Guitar, Travis Book on bass, Chris Pandolfi on banjo, Jesse Cobb on mandolin, Jeremy Garrett on fiddle and Andy Falco on guitar, the band pulls together skill and experience well beyond their years. They boast a combined resume that includes collaborations with artists like Dolly Parton, Leftover Salmon, Earl Scruggs, Bering Strait, Ronnie Bowman and Levon Helm. Their Sugar Hill debut, Fork In The Road, was one of the most highly acclaimed bluegrass releases of 2007. It has been praised by fans of traditional bluegrass and newgrass alike, proving that the young Nashville-based band offers something for everyone. The disc features a diverse selection from the Stringdusters’ vast repertoire, with hard driving original instrumentals like “40 West” along with more contemporary arrangements like “Tragic Life”… The band has performed at some of the country’s biggest acoustic music festivals (including Telluride Bluegrass, Merlefest, Grey Fox, and many more) as well as large concert halls, intimate clubs, and everything in between.

The Crystal Bay Rail Jam Thursdays are sponsored by Diamond Peak, Tahoe Dave's, and Tahoe TV, and hosted by Tahoe TV's vivacious Kerry 'KT' Todd. The party starts at 9pm, with drink specials, lift ticket giveaways, and ski and board movies on CBC's numerous screens. Live music starts at 10pm.
