Two banjos – tenor & clawhammer – fiddle, mandolin, bouzouki and guitar combine in a “strings only” sound utilizing the energy from stellar musicianship with a hint of electronics and driven by a powerful rhythmic pulse. A loop of increasing aural power, building momentum for the the audience with the wide spectrum of contemporary yet traditional tones. BOOKING 2025
