After the success of Team Flathead in 2004, we started getting regular questions about when a second Huber CD might be released. In making plans for a follow up, Steve Huber decided that the next project should not only showcase the banjos, but also some of the professional players who were using a Huber on stage and in the studio.

Cuppa 'Jo was recorded in 2006 and features the banjo work of Jim Mills, Greg Cahill, Jason Burleson, Steve Dilling, Joey Cox, Cia Cherryholmes and Jason Davis. This interesting mix of pickers includes four road-tested veterans, along with three relatively young pickers in their late teens and early twenties.

Each of the banjo players recorded with their personal instruments, on tunes of their own choosing. The rhythm section is almost identical to the first release: Kenny Smith on guitar, Alan Bibey on mandolin, Ron Stewart on fiddle, and Alan Bartram on bass.

The material and arrangements are more varied, but the love for bluegrass banjos - and Huber Banjos - comes through on every track. Cuppa 'Jo can be purchased as an audio CD or MP3 download in our Huber Banjos store.
