September 11, 2008 | Mandolin Project

Some refreshing new acoustic music from Oklahoma-based producer/guitarist Brad Ford and mandolinist Dewayne Grissom in their latest release "Second Wind" in their Mandolin Project. Touted as "Contemporary mandolin music that blazes new paths into uncharted musical territory, with elements of jazz, rock, bluegrass, and more," the duo present a dynamically fresh new sound in ensemble settings of acoustic instruments including banjo and violin. Influences they attribute to their sound include, Seals & Crofts , David Grisman, Jean-Luc Ponty, Santana, and the Allman Brothers.

Audio samples are available on their website and at CDBaby:
