Fancy Gap, VA (September 28, 2026) - Mountain Fever Records is proud to announce the signing of Carolyne Van Lierop Boone, best known to many bluegrass fans as the banjo player and founding member of the Amanda Cook Band. With this new chapter, Carolyne steps into the spotlight as a solo artist and songwriter with a forthcoming album that showcases another side of her musical voice.

A talented banjo player, vocalist, and accomplished songwriter, Carolyne has spent years performing alongside Amanda Cook and building a reputation for her thoughtful musicianship and natural storytelling. Her songwriting brings an honest, personal perspective to her music, and her upcoming album gives those songs a place alongside carefully chosen material from some of the finest writers in bluegrass and acoustic music.

The forthcoming project is a wonderful mix of Carolyne’s original songs and songs she connected with and felt compelled to record. Together, they create a collection that reflects both her growth as a songwriter and the musical influences that have shaped her along the way.

“I’m really excited to have Carolyne join the Mountain Fever family in this new capacity,” says President Amanda Cook. “I’ve had the privilege of watching her grow as a musician and songwriter for many years, and I’ve always known there was so much more to her story. This album really gives people the opportunity to hear Carolyne’s voice as a songwriter and an artist, and I’m thrilled that Mountain Fever gets to be part of that.”

For Carolyne, the signing marks an exciting new step in a musical journey that has already taken her to stages and audiences throughout the bluegrass world.

There’s a lot more to come from Carolyne, and we can’t wait for you to hear it. Mountain Fever will be sharing more about her upcoming album and first single, very soon.
