Bluegrass fans have been waiting and it is here! The first single, “Lonesome Weary Heart” from

Audie Blaylock and Redline as they return center stage in 2008! As one would expect from Audie

Blaylock, Redline consists of a winning team of exceptional musicians and vocalists with Jason

Johnson on mandolin and vocals, Matthew Wallace on bass and vocals, Evan Ward on banjo and

vocals, and Patrick McAvinue on fiddle. “We're excited about this band and are ready to get out there

and play every day of the year if we can and entertain audiences with some great music,” he says.

In 2005 and 2006, Audie Blaylock and Redline had the honor of being nominated for the International

Bluegrass Music Association's Emerging Artist of the Year award. Audie Blaylock and Redline bring

the energy of the early days of bluegrass to every show.

Fans of Blaylock’s are looking forward to new and exciting things from him as well. Grammy® award

winning producer, Carl Jackson says, “Audie Blaylock is one of the most talented folks in bluegrass

music today. He’s a top-notch guitarist and vocalist and I’m very pleased to know there’s a new project

on the horizon. When Audie is involved, you can bet the music will be bluegrass at its finest.”

Blaylock and Redline have been hard at work: adding dates; choosing songs; and recording since the

bluegrass world saw him add another IBMA award to his existing list of honors. That was in October

2007 as Rounder recording artists Michael Cleveland and Flamekeeper featuring Audie Blaylock

brought home the 2007 Instrumental Group of the Year award at the 18th Annual International

Bluegrass Music Awards show held at the Grand Ole Opry House in Nashville, TN.

“I’m extremely honored to receive the award that so many prestigious and talented musicians have been

nominated for and received in the past. This is a great honor for myself and the entire group,” said Audie

Blaylock. “This is particularly humbling when you consider the caliber of the past recipients such as

Ricky Skaggs & Kentucky Thunder, Nickel Creek, Del McCoury and others,” he adds.

Audie has been performing for years with some of bluegrass music’s most distinguished acts including

the great Jimmy Martin and Rhonda Vincent & The Rage as well as doing session work that earned

him a Grammy® nomination for Best Bluegrass Album and an IBMA nomination for Recorded Event

of the Year for" A Tribute to Jimmy Martin: The King of Bluegrass." This group project included Audie

Blaylock on guitar and vocals along with a stellar lineup of musicians including former Sunny Mountain

Boys J.D. Crowe, Paul Williams, and Kenny Ingram. He has also performed with the legendary Red

Allen, The Lynn Morris Band and songwriting great Harley Allen. Audie is also a four-time IBMA

Guitar Player of the Year nominee.

With the release of his first solo CD, Trains are the Only Way to Fly, Country Standard Time said:

"From the opening title cut to the finale, "Pages of Time,"there is no mistaking Audie Blaylock's music

as anything but hard driving, traditional-style bluegrass."

Born in El Paso, Texas into a family whose roots go back to the hills of Virginia and Tennessee, Audie

learned to play guitar and sing with his parents and siblings, and went on to play locally in the Lansing,

Michigan area where he grew up. In 1982, at age 19, Audie Blaylock joined Jimmy Martin and The

Sunny Mountain Boys and spent nine years on the road learning the craft of bluegrass from one of the

music's first-generation legends.
