Anonymous 4 have performed in cities throughout North America, and have been regulars at major international festivals. They decided to make
the 2003–2004 season their last as a full-time recording and touring ensemble, but have continued to tour and make recordings while pursuing
individual projects. The CD 1865, which features songs from the Civil War with Bruce Molsky on guitar, fiddle, banjo, and vocals will be
their last recording together, as the ensemble will be disbanded at the end of the 2015–2016 season.
