Split Lip Rayfield's 20th Anniversary Album Release Set for Fox Theatre, 9/13

Z2 Entertainment will present Split Lip Rayfield's 20th Anniversary Album Release at the Fox Theatre on Sunday, September 13th, 2015. Tickets are on sale April 17th for $15 advanced or $17 day of show.

The fire rages on for the powerhouse trio from Kansas, Split Lip Rayfield (SLR), as they celebrate the release of their new record, "I'll Be Around." The new album showcases the songwriting talents of mandolin player Wayne Gottstine and banjo player Eric Mardis, tied together by the harmony and deep-bass licks of Jeff Eaton. Such songs as "Aces High," "Heart of Darkness," and "The High Price of Necromancy" will take listeners on a journey of love, loss, change, and dark powers, as they discover what lies in the mysterious minds of SLR.

The song for which the album is named, "I'll Be Around," serves as a tribute to the band's fallen teammate Kirk Rundstrom, whose influence on the band and its path was great. Rundstrom's legacy continues to live on in the new album and also the band itself as every live show is dedicated to his memory.

Split Lip Rayfield has carved out their own genre of music with their unique sound and instrumentation. Often described as a mix of bluegrass and country with an accent of metal, no other band delivers the experience of the homemade gas-tank bass played by Jeff Eaton, sets the mandolin strings on fire like Wayne Gottstine, or makes the banjo sing like Eric Mardis. Together, they burn up speakers and stages alike providing an unforgettable experience. This is one trio not to miss!
