Lonesome Ace Stringband at Cameron House 2025-12-09T18:00:00
The Lonesome Ace Stringband bring grit, skill and abandon to a music that lurks on the outskirts of old-time, bluegrass, and folk. The songs of John Hartford, Hank Williams, Dock Boggs, and The Band share space with the fiddle tunes of Eck Robertson and Ed Haley. Their original songs and tunes take in all these vistas and paint something both personal and timely.
Consisting simply of fiddle (John Showman), clawhammer banjo (Chris Coole), bass, and voice, the band moves freely between a sound so commanding it doesn’t seem like it could come from a trio to a sparse fragility that draws the listener in.
