This article has been the source of a significant amount of WP:PROMO and WP:SPAM. I'm wondering now if it even meets notability requirements. Looks like just another run of the mill band to me. Zackmann (^{Talk to me}/_{What I been doing}) 20:19, 26 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep I reverted back to a much more thoroughly-sourced version of the article and added a few references myself. A review of the material in the article, as well as a cursory search online, convinces me that the band meets WP:BAND criteria number 1 (i.e. non-trivial coverage in multiple reliable sources independent of the band). If there is a promotional push being made at the article due to a new lineup then that is a concern that needs to be monitored, but I don't think deletion is the answer in this case.--Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 20:58, 26 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Addendum: If I'm interpreting the criteria correctly they would also appear to meet Criteria 5 with a release on Rounder Records and two on the indie lable Patuxent Music.--Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 21:15, 26 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - If an article is promotional, that's a reason to de-spam it, not to delete it. This band has won an International Bluegrass Music Association award and been nominated for several others,[1][2][3] performs internationally, and has been written about extensively by journalists and music reviewers.
