About this Event
February is the month of love and - musically speaking - there aren't many things the 7 Sisters team loves more than rip roaring old time music. Which is why we're thrilled to host not one, but two absolute banger old time shows in February. We've got SLO County Stumblers on the 7th and then Canadian trio, Lonesome Ace Stringband on the 27th! Looks like cupid is using a fiddle bow this year! -Daniel
About Lonesome Ace Stringband:
Masters of their trade, The Lonesome Ace Stringband brings grit, skill, and abandon to Americana music, bridging old-time, bluegrass and folk traditions into a seamless hybrid of original material that is at once fresh and timeless.
The trio’s sound is anchored in the fiddle and clawhammer banjo of John Showman and Chris Coole. They are joined by a rotating cast of extraordinary upright bassists (including founding member Max Malone, Steve Roy, and Lotus Wight). With spine-tingling harmonies and interchanging lead vocals, there's a depth of groove and sense of space not often heard in bluegrass today, a level of instrumental interplay and vocal blend uncommon in old-time, and an on-stage rapport that transcends all of this. As of 2023, the band has toured internationally, been engaged at some of the largest festivals in North America and Europe (including Merlefest, Rockygrass, Wintergrass, Winnipeg Folk Festival, Vancouver Folk Festival, Gooikorts, John Hartford Memorial ), and recorded 6 albums.
