The Ephemeral Stringband (banjoape)

Oldtime fiddle tunes and sister harmony singing. We are also known to perform a few original songs and Shape Note music arranged for banjos.

The Ephemeral Stringband draws from several branches of traditional American music including Oldtime Stringband music, Early country and bluegrass and Shape Note sacred hymns. They combine skillful instrumental playing with close harmony singing, creating a sound that grounded in the past, while creating new material to add to the living tradition of American music.

"...even when they kick into high gear, the old shape note hymns and simple trad tunes Molly Merrett, Maggie Shar, and friends interpret on their interchangeable banjos and fiddles are loving and gentle, like the sun-warmed sidewalks where I found them, perfect for a snowy day in New England by the fireside."
