Lonesome Ace String Band at TAPAC - Tuesday, February 25th at 6pm
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,
Charles James, 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.
