about

There’s something incredibly infectious about music created by close friends, and it is surely the shared joy, as well as the collective musical virtuosity of the band members that characterizes The New Worlds. Taking their name from a phrase that evokes wonder and historical significance, The New Worlds have dug deep into the musical past of North America, as well as the promise of new discovery within its ageless music traditions.

The band brings together some of Nashville’s most in-demand acoustic musicians. Shelby Means (Bass/Vocals), Christian Sedelmyer (Fiddle/Vocals), Rachel Baiman (Banjo/Fiddle/Vocals), Dave Goldenberg (Mandolin/Vocals), and Joel Timmons (Guitar/Percussion/Vocals) have overlapping backgrounds in Bluegrass and Old-Time music, but also bring individual expertise in reggae, classic country, folk rock and roots music.

Originally formed in 2012 for a tour of Australia and New Zealand, members of The New Worlds have extensive touring, recording and teaching experience and have acquired numerous accolades, including Shelby Means' GRAMMY nomination with Della Mae, and Dave Goldenberg’s National Mandolin Championship in 2015. They have a passion for exploring international cultures and music and have collectively toured and taught in 30 countries.

After years of late night jams, and playing together in various band formations (10 String Symphony, Christian Sedelmyer & Dave Goldenberg, Sally and George), the five merged to explore their collective sound. The result is an explosive and emotional musical experience that blends old-time rhythms, modern pop melodies and thoughtful improvisation. The music of The New Worlds is the sound of life, love, and hardships, shared between friends, in the spirit and historical tradition of America.
