Helen Highwater Stringband w/ The Ransom Notes on 05/21/16

Helen Highwater Stringband

These are musicians who have performed for decades. Their music is rooted but not frozen, recognizable but not predictable, comfy but not smug. It’s also a steel-railed groove of steam-powered drive—Gid Tanner and Bill Monroe stoking the coal car and one band barreling ahead, eyes around the curve. The band is made up of David Grier on guitar, Missy Raines on bass, Mike Compton on mandolin, Shad Cobb on fiddle and power vocals from all four.
