Both of Jared Rabin's past two albums have premiered in the Top 5 on the Folk Alliance Radio charts, with "Chasing the Light" reaching #3 in October 2022. Bluegrass Today said, "Chasing The Light is, as its title implies, an illuminating effort, and one that ought to elevate Rabin to the higher pantheons inhabited by those that are bringing bluegrass to the mainstream audience it so decidedly deserves. And it’s that undeniable appeal that becomes ever more apparent throughout. Jared started learning music at age five from his grandfather, who was the first chair violinist for the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. Jared became a proficient multi-instrumentalist, went on to study jazz composition and has traveled the world performing an array of music. His songwriting has been recognized by international competitions, and his albums have been praised by American Songwriter, NPR and more. He is a long time fixture on the Chicago music scene. He can be found performing often there, as well as across the US.

“Morsel is a five-piece jamgrass band hailing from Denver, CO that mixes classic bluegrass sensibilities nuanced with a more traditional rock edge, resting in a warm balance of old-school string dusting and nu-school improvisation. Since forming in CU Boulder back in 2016, the band has cultivated a robust following throughout the Front Range, born from sets at pubs and breweries and growing exponentially to headline shows at legendary venues, such as The Boulder Theater and The Fox Theater, and to share the stage with nationally touring artists, such as Yonder Mountain String Band, Horseshoes and Hand Grenades, Molly Tuttle, the Kitchen Dwellers, and many more. Morsel’s debut self-titled studio album (produced by Chris Pandolfi of the Infamous Stringdusters) released in September of 2021 illustrates the band’s powerful songwriting that is its true soul: a cornucopia of catchy hooks, shimmering melodies, and thoughtful lyrics all delivered in a package that will make the most ardent bluegrass skeptic a believer.”

These three musicians came together to be Black Partridge organically, and basically by accident.  A mutual adoration for acoustic music and genre stretching, it became clear at once that these three intuitive craftsmen were going to be making some special music.  They have known each other for years, all centering their musicianship in the fertile creative ground that is 'The Heart of Roger’s Park’ in the northeast corner of Chicago.  Black Partridge gets intimate, honest, and traditional in the music they present, then they flip the night on its head, and the vibe becomes a party, pushing funky jams on 16 strings.  These three enjoy sharing their original music as much as they enjoy playing the tunes you love.
