Nourished by deep roots in the expansive canon of traditional American music, The Lonely Heartstring Band embodies the modern American condition—an understanding and reverence for the past that informs a push into the future. George Clements (guitar, vocals) Patrick M'Gonigle (fiddle, vocals) Charles Clements (bass, vocals) Matt Witler (mandolin) and Gabe Hirshfeld (banjo) bring together their own musical styles to create a sound greater than the sum of its parts.
The harmony that rings from the acoustic duo of Sparky & The Ancient Mariner is designed to invite the audience to a new experience. With great care and construction of arrangement the duo strives to lift the spirits of listeners and soften the oft negativity of an otherwise monotone world.
