The Infamous Stringdusters are celebrating two decades of pushing bluegrass forward, and the new single “Dead Man Walking” keeps that momentum flying. Its a country-infused dobro banjo burner with the kind of drive that makes you lean in closer, and it follows the first taste of their upcoming record, “Working Man Blues”. The band is set to release their 20th studio album ’20/20′ in January 2026, and the title says plenty about the milestone energy powering this era.
Fiddle player and songwriter Jeremy Garrett traces “Dead Man Walking” back to a character who needs to zoom out and truly see their life, then make a real shift. With Larry Keels voice in his head, Garrett sent over a verse or two, and Keel fired back with lyrics Garrett describes as awesome and uplifting, landing on a powerful chorus and a cool hook. With Chris Pandolfi, Travis Book, Andy Hall, and Andy Falco alongside Garrett, The Infamous Stringdusters keep blurring the lines between bluegrass, Americana, country, and indie-folk, and ’20/20′ arrives with twenty brand new songs and that same bold curiosity under bright stage lights or deep in the studio.
