Amanda Cook Signs Multi-Record Deal with Mountain Fever Records
Mountain Fever Records is proud to announce Amanda Cook has signed a multi-year deal with the label. The seven year agreement will include the release of five full-length albums with the newest due for release early 2019.
With the overwhelming success of Deep Water, Amanda's debut album for Mountain Fever released September 2017, this bright-eyed, light-hearted, Florida native has become a household name among bluegrass fans. Her album debuted at #6 on Billboard's Top 10 Bluegrass Albums and has been on Sirius XM's Most Played Albums chart for 9 consecutive months, with tracks from the album remaining on Bluegrass Today's Top 20 Songs chart 10 out of 13 weeks.
"Mountain Fever Records has been such a wonderful home for me and my music," says Amanda. "They have shown such faith in me and have taken all the right steps to get my music in front of radio, promoters, and fans. I've worked very hard over the last year but without the support of Mountain Fever, I don't believe I would have experienced such growth as an artist. I feel reciprocating that confidence is so important and I look forward to a long relationship with my Mountain Fever family."
Amanda Cook has been selected as an official International Bluegrass Music Association (IBMA) Showcase Artist and plans to make the most of her efforts at World of Bluegrass in Raleigh, NC this fall with multiple scheduled appearances. "I think at this stage in my career, it's so important to put all the effort we can into our time at World of Bluegrass and to take advantage of the opportunities. My band and I are excited to put our best music forward."
Mountain Fever will release a single from Amanda Cook's new record soon, with the complete album scheduled for early 2019. For more information on Amanda Cook, visit www.AmandaCookBluegrass.com. For more information on Mountain Fever Records, visit www.MountainFever.com.

Del Barber Shines On New LP 'Almanac' Out Today Via Acronym RecordsApril 28, 2023
“I want my work to be seen as subtle by definition,” says three-time Juno Award nominee Del Barber. “I want my statements to come across as questions rather than decrees or opinions.” Barber's way of seeing the world and his place within it takes center stage on his brand new album, Almanac. If Barber's previous release, Stray Dogs: Collected B-Sides Vol. 1 felt like the end of one of life's seasons, Almanac doggedly led him into the next. With his aforementioned mission statement of sorts, Barber wrote the twelve songs which make up Almanac from a new perspective. “Some of these songs are descriptions of my world through my own eyes; a way of songwriting I've never felt I've done well until now.” The final result, his eighth full-length album, is a thoughtful, gratitude-filled display of songcraft. “Writing Almanac felt like I had another chance,” says Barber. “It felt like spring.”
