### **The Infamous Stringdusters Foray Into the Realms of Electronic Music with New Cover of Avicii’s “Wake Me Up” **

#### **‘Undercover, Vol. 3’ is out via Americana Vibes on November 13, 2024**

Last month, **The Infamous Stringdusters** announced a new installment of their 
beloved cover album series, _**Undercover, Vol. 3. **_

Following suit with their previous 5-song curated selections, with one song selected
per band member, this collection reimagines classics from legends like **The Grateful
Dead**, **Phish**,** Avicii**, and more blending bluegrass mastery with fresh, innovative
twists. Today, the Dusters take us back to one of 2013’s songs of the summer with
the release of a bluegrass rendition of  “Wake Me Up” by **Avicii**. Listen [HERE](https://dusters.ffm.to/wakemeup).

Bluegrass and electronic music may be the most unlikely merger in music, but in 
true Stringdusters form, the group crafts a seamless arrangement making the late
Swedish producer’s  tune their own that’s guaranteed to impart a wave of nostalgia
in both home listening and performance settings.  

“The song I chose for ‘Undercover’ was ‘Wake Me Up,’ which is an Avicii tune,” reveals
bassist & vocalist **Travis Book**, “I really love that it was a popular song, so
when we play it, people have connection to it. People can remember when it was the
hit of the summer and I love that it was part of a project that Avicii did where
he was collaborating with a lot of musicians. I also think the song has a cool, 
sort of positive message that relates to the angst of being young and struggling
with identity trying to figure out what’s next in your life. I love the way we play
it—it’s always a blast!”
