"I've always wanted to capture the magic that happens when you create music with your friends. Pinecastle Records, who I'm excited to be partnered with, has allowed me to do just that on Chronicle: Friends & Music," says Gena Britt. "Twenty-one of my most favorite people, who happen to be incredible musicians and singers, have joined me on this recording and I'm so excited for everyone to hear it." Serving as the first taste from the project, the opening track "Over and Over" serves as the lead single. Written by Eli Johnston and Kevin McKinnon, the upbeat track features Britt singing lead vocals, while Sister Sadie bandmate Tina Adair performs tenor. The result is an upbeat anthem that is sure to strike a chord with fans of traditional Bluegrass music. The hard-hitting project pays tribute to Britt's North Carolina roots, showcasing the lonesome Mountain sound which the banjo extraordinaire has perfected. Included on Chronicle: Friends and Music are 13 new recordings, with a star-studded lineup of guests.
