Lonesome Ace Stringband

For the Lonesome Ace Stringband, 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 distinguishes them from any old stringband. Instrumentation alone instantly sets LAS’s sound apart: consisting of just fiddle, clawhammer banjo, and upright bass, the band moves freely between having a sound so powerful that it doesn’t seem like it should be coming from a trio, to a sparseness and fragility that draws the listener in and refreshes the ear. Lonesome Ace Stringband is made up of three of Canada’s top roots musicians including Chris Coole on banjo, John Showman on fiddle and Max Malone on bass.
