The Nadas, the Iowa-based folk-country rock band, once named Playboy Magazines “Best College Band You've Never Heard Of", are releasing their seventh album, Almanac, on March 16 through Authentic Records. The recording of Almanac, a unique, “song-a-month” collection of the band’s best creative work, was the brainchild of lead singer Mike Butterworth. Mike and the rest of the band wrote, recorded and released one song a month throughout 2009. The task assigned themselves was impressive enough, yet The Nadas even altered their progress to match their music with the current events of the time. Every step of the creative process was streamed live on the band's website, allowing unprecedented access and participation by their fans, making them an integral part of the album. Co-founder and singer/guitarist Jason Walsmith recalls, "It was a risk, but our die-hard fans were game. They came along for the ride.”

The Nadas are singers/guitarists Mike Butterworth and Jason Walsmith, bassist Jon Locker, drummer Jason Smith, and violinist Becca Smith. Over the last sixteen years, they have sold more than 125,000 albums through their own Authentic Records. Their list of critically acclaimed albums includes 2003’s Transceiver and 2005’s Listen Through The Static, both produced by Todd and Toby Pipes of Deep Blue Something, as well as 2007’s The Ghosts Inside These Halls.
