This is old-time music for today’s old soul.
Lonesome Ace Stringband is Chris Coole on banjo, John Showman on fiddle and Max Heineman on bass. Together they bring a deep respect for the roots of the music, a keen sense of innovation to the performance and material, and a passion for the sound that transcends both. 2018 sees the band release it’s 3rd album “When the Sun Comes Up”, which takes a step away from the traditional repertoire of the first two recordings and features the songwriting of all three members.
Since their inception in 2008, LAS have developed the kind of instinctual rapport, that only comes from seasoned musicians logging many hundreds of playing hours together. In the early days of the band, Lonesome Ace Stringband held a weekend residency at Toronto’s legendary Dakota Tavern, often performing 10 sets each weekend.
Lonesome Ace Stringband are all collectively and individually known for their studio work and live performance with the likes of New Country Rehab, the Foggy Hogtown Boys, Corin Raymond, Justin Rutledge, David Francey and many others. For more information about the band, visit their website at https://lonesomeace.com.
