This year, the Billboard-charting band celebrates 25 years of performing for packed concert halls, amphitheaters and music festivals across the US.

They recorded a new album to share some of their riveting, dynamic and beloved live shows, including from their sold-out annual Sandy Amphitheater show in Utah.

Live Vol. 2 includes 18 of the band’s most popular songs, including their Top 20 hit, “Dream Big.” Having performed over hundreds of live shows and released 8 previous albums, Ryan Shupe & the RubberBand have no plans of stopping. The Live Vol. 2 album was mixed and mastered by Silvio Richetto, who also engineered the band’s chart-topping Dream Big album.

Winning over live audiences has been Shupe’s natural-born talent since childhood. A fifth-generation fiddler, he started performing with his siblings at age 10. Shupe later formed the RubberBand, and the band took the long-running Telluride Bluegrass Festival in Colorado by storm, winning the live band contest. This launched them into the national music scene and, after signing with Capitol Records, they hit #13 on Billboard's US Country Album Chart with their signature album, Dream Big. Their title track from that album continues to be an audience favorite, and has garnered over 2.1 million streams on Spotify.
