It is to all our losses."[7] In 2018, Bloodshot Records released a digital-only compilation titled Best of... Deadstring Brothers[8].
After relocating to the Pacific Northwest in July 2013, Kurtis Brothers met Kris Stuart and Matt Cadenelli at the Wildwood MusicFest & Campout leading to the formation of a new all-star group called The Deadstring Family Band.
