Artist Biography
The three members of this unique African-American string band met in 2005 at the annual Black Banjo Gathering at Appalachian State University in North Carolina, drawn together by their mutual love of bluegrass, "jass," jug music, and prehistoric country and rock. The acoustic musicians play a lively combination of standards and originals in these styles, sporting tongue-in-cheek old-timey outfits and a spirited irreverence that barely disguises their technical brilliance. Their 2006 debut was released to nearly unanimous acclaim.
