American bluegrass quintet The Lonely Heartstring Band will perform at the Whangateau Hall on Monday, January 29.
They will be appearing on the Folk Club programme straight from their appearance as international guests at the Auckland Folk Festival.
The five young Boston-based musicians who make up the band originate from Canada and the United States, and met at the Berklee College of Music.
They are twin brothers George (guitar, vocals) and Charles (bass, vocals) Clements, Patrick M’Gonigle (fiddle, vocals), Matt Witler (mandolin, vocals) and Gabe Hirshfeld (banjo).
They say their repertoire of original songs and compositions showcases not only their musical diversity, but also a dedication to meaningful roots-conscious music.
Since their beginnings in 2012, The Lonely Heartstring Band has toured throughout the US and in Europe, appearing at major music festivals and other events. They have picked up a number of awards along the way including the 2015 International Bluegrass Music Association’s Momentum Award.
In 2016, they released their debut full-length album Deep Waters on the legendary Rounder Records label, in Nashville. Doors open 6.45pm for a 7pm start. Tickets $20.
