Gena Britt - Streets, Rivers, Dreams & Heartaches (2025)

She’s a founding member of one of the hottest bands in bluegrass, but Sister Sadie’s Gena Britt has a stellar reputation of her own that goes back more than 30 years. Now, the acclaimed banjo picker — she’s nominated again for the IBMA’s Banjo Player of the Year award — and singer has partnered with Mountain Home Music Company to release her first solo album in nearly six years. And while Streets, Rivers, Dreams & Heartaches has plenty of the virtuosic picking and soulful vocals for which she’s been known for decades, her latest collection shows an artist who’s continued to grow and stretch her horizons in new directions, too.
