Mountain Fever Records

Mountain Fever currently distributes over 60 titles with many more scheduled and a current active roster of 16 artists, not including sideman projects. Michelle Nixon and Drive's "A Place I Belong" was the label's first number one record. Over the course of the label, we've been blessed to have a lot of music in the top spots. We've had at dozens of #1 songs and many #1 albums. With so many charts available, including Bluegrass Unlimited, Bluegrass Today, the defunct Bluegrass Music Profiles, Roots Music Report and Cashbox, we've been fortunate to have a strong chart presence since our inception. With a passion and penchant for strong bluegrass vocalist and precision instrumentalists, as well as an appreciation for not only the traditional sound of bluegrass, but its more modern day musical cousins of progressive bluegrass and Americana, Hodges started developing a solid musical roster that rivales much of what was being released. Now, a 72 track recording studio hidden in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains of Floyd, the appropriately named Mountain Fever Records offers the best in multi-genre music from Southwest Virginia and surrounding areas, from bluegrass to Old-time, Gospel to blues, rock to reggae. With continued growth and no sign of stopping, the label is bringing on more and more stellar acts regularly. In 2014 they began an Americana label to support the music they love that goes beyond the confines of bluegrass. Travianna Records expands their focus as a home for musicians outside the traditional bluegrass box. "It has truly been a privilege to bring all of this music to fans of bluegrass and Americana music," Hodges says. "It still gets me excited every time I hear something new and innovative.
