The Lonesome Ace Stringband is an old-time band with bluegrass chops that plays really good folk and country music. There's a depth of groove and sense of space not often heard in bluegrass, a level of instrumental interplay and vocal blend uncommon in old-time, and an on-stage rapport that transcends all of this.

Instrumentation alone instantly sets LAS's sound apart: consisting of just fiddle (John Showman), clawhammer banjo (Chris Coole), and upright bass (Max Heineman), the band’s sound moves freely from a power that doesn't seem like it should be coming from a trio, to a sparseness and fragility that draws the listener in and refreshes the ear. All three members are compelling and distinct lead singers. With vocal textures that shift depending on how the song needs to feel - and what the song has to say - these individual voices come together with powerful, unshakable harmony. It's clear to anyone who's heard LAS that they just don't sound like any other band.
