“For anyone unfamiliar with Rock Hearts you need to know that they are a powerhouse bluegrass group, featuring some of New England’s finest. They bring lots of talent, experience, and a distinctive sound of their own.” Linden Tree Concerts is pleased to present Rock Hearts on Saturday, February 1 at 7:30 pm in Wakefield, MA.
Formed in 2013, Rock Hearts brings together five seasoned musicians from Southern New England who love to sing and pick bluegrass, old country tunes, and seek out tunes from other genres to “bluegrass.” Named an Official 2021 IBMA Showcase Band, the band is enjoying national radio and Chart activity. They are a sought after band for major festivals in the USA and Canada. The group works closely with Sammy Passamano, in Nashville, the 615 Hideaway record label owner. Their first independent project, Starry Southern Nights, put them on the national radar. A year later they signed with Sammy Passamano and released their first 615 Hideaway Records label single from their new project, Wanderlust, which continues to receive outstanding fanfare and radio attention. Their 3rd project and second with the 615, Unfinished Bridges, is by far their best work yet. It’s experiencing tremendous success. With the full album and several singles debuting in the Top 10 on national charts, including five #1 positions.
“Rock Hearts’ Unfinished Bridges deserves a large audience and copious praise.” Colin Jordan Rock Hearts has shared the stage with some of the top bands in the industry including, Del McCoury, Jonathan Edwards, Dan Tyminski, the Seldom Scene, and many more.
