The Corn Potato String Band

Posted in: Concerts

The Corn Potato String Band has delighted audiences with their driving fiddle tunes and harmonious singing across the US, Canada, Europe, Mexico, and India. They’ve performed at the Ann Arbor Folk Festival, the Ark/Ann Arbor, and on the Main Stage at the Wheatland Music Festival. Band members Aaron Jonah Lewis, Lindsay McCaw and Ben Belcher are all multi-instrumentalists dedicated to continuing the music and dance traditions of the Central and Southern US. In addition to being champion fiddlers, they play banjo, guitar, bass and mandolin and deftly handle many different antiquated styles including ballads, “hoedowns,” country “rags” and southern gospel, specializing in twin fiddling and double banjo tunes. The Corn Potato String Band has earned high praise in traditional American music circles, keeping old time fiddle and banjo music from a one-way trip to the dustbins of history. $15 prepay; $20 at the door.
