Jaded Mandolin

Oasis Coffeehouse
Waltham, MA

Beginning in the summer of 2005, the quartet of teenaged homeschoolers got together to play music. Almost by accident, by frequenting open mikes, they developed a following and went with it. In 2006, they recorded their debut, self-titled release. The band was featured regularly at Club Passim in Cambridge, as well as performing at venues such as The Me & Thee Coffeehouse, The Circle of Friends Coffeehouse, The Westford Museum, The MassBluegrass Jamboree, Amazing Things Arts Center, The Natick Center for the Arts, The Emerson Umbrella and many others.

As its members dispersed to pursue higher education, the band took a hiatus, but is now back! Even though some of its members are verging on -- or have even slightly surpassed -- the ripe old age of 20, the music and performance energy are as fresh and youthful as ever. Inspired by the vibrant folk scene in their hometown, the members of Jaded Mandolin grew up listening to local musicians and songwriters. These early influences add an essential element to their interpretations of classic folk, as well as their original compositions: respect and appreciation for a song. Drawing from the varied history of traditional string music, they create intricate arrangements of old and new tunes, adding color but always letting the song shine.
