Chambergrass

Two examples of genre bending music by classically trained string players who did the unthinkable... Crossed over into Country and in the process turned their fancy violins into fiddles.

In Boston, the Folk Arts Quartet brings traditional Celtic and American folk forms to dignified chamber music venues.

And Time For Three, a trio where a double bass also doubles as an incredibly expressive cello, looks to the West for inspiration.
