The Litch Brothers and Jackero - Old Time, Folk, Blugrass

Jackero is an old-time and folk project composed of sisters Ellie and Annie Davis. Growing up in Olympia, Washington, the sisters began fiddle lessons at the age of four and have been playing, singing, and performing together ever since. Rooted in Appalachian old-time music tradition, the duo explores the intersection of traditional music and original songwriting, bringing a fresh sound to old music through a combination of fiddle, banjo, guitar, and close vocal harmonies. Their band name comes from the traditional ballad often written as "Jack-A-Roe," famously performed by folk heroes like Jean Ritchie and Pete Seeger, and reflects their deep respect and reverence for traditional Appalachian music and its rich storytelling traditions.

The Litch Brothers got their first break while busking at a fish market as kids when Brandi Carlile invited them to play with her to a sold-out crowd at Benaroya Hall. Since then, their affinity for bluegrass has only grown. Skaggs and Rice was one of the few records in their family's truck that carried them around the small Pacific Northwest island where they grew up. The Bluegrass Standard writes, “Tashi and Kaj Litch are the bluegrass music of the next generation.” Now touring as a four piece consisting of Tashi and Kaj, with Evan Snoey and Ben Lewis, on a combination of mandolin, guitar, fiddle, bass and vocals, the band delivers an exciting show of original music with traditional material, and folk inspired covers. They have performed at venues including Grey Fox Bluegrass Festival and The Station Inn and toured internationally. With their first studio album, produced by AJ Lee, coming Summer 2026 and a packed tour schedule, they are not to be missed.
