BR549 After ten turbulent years of critical acclaim, multiple Grammy nominations, relentless touring, and personnel shifts that might have beaten down most acts, one group has survived to deliver their most surprising move of all: With their last Dualtone Records album Dog Days, BR549 stands tall as the hardest-rocking – and hardest-working–here-to-stay band in country music today. The single from Dog Days (Dualtone), "After the Hurricane" was introduced to Americana radio on Shut Eye's The United State of Americana, Volume Four ironically just a few short weeks following the Katrina hurricane disaster on the Gulf Coast. The album hit #1 on the Americana radio chart.
