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.
