LONESOME ACE STRINGBAND

The Pacific Bluegrass and Heritage Society is pleased to present the Lonesome Ace Stringband in concert on January 30, 2017, at the Anza Club. Doors at 7, opening act 7:30, concert at 8 pm.

The Lonesome Ace Stringband brings grit, skill and abandon to old-time, Appalachian folk songs and fiddle/banjo tunes. These are songs and tunes for life and all of its occasions: festivals, dances, wars, parties and funerals. The music comes from a tradition that has inspired and brought together generations of people. Its themes - love, loss, hard work and hardship, faith, and everyday life - speak to everyone. The members are Chris Coole on banjo, John Showman on fiddle and Max Heineman on bass. Together they bring a deep respect for the roots of the music, a keen sense of innovation to the performance and material, and a passion for the sound that transcends both. This is old-time music for today's old soul.

The opening act is Vancouver's own Lonesome Town Painters, starting at 7:30 pm.
