Fresh off the release of the new album “Letters,” Hank, Pattie and the Current joined Aaron on Live & Local!
One of the Triangle’s seminal bluegrass bands, Hank and Pattie – Hank Smith and Pattie Hopkins Kinlaw – have been performing together for well over a decade. Recorded in a marathon three-day session in Asheville, “Letters” is the band’s fourth studio album and their first in three years.
Hank Smith and Pattie Hopkins Kinlaw joined Aaron on 97.9 The Hill to chat about the new album and their upcoming plans, including a “Music in the Gardens” show at the Duke Gardens on July 20. They also played three songs: “Steady,” “Lullaby,” and “The Ruetschi Forge.”
