Yes, finally, slipped into the Mr Kite net ... a hot young alternative bluegrass group on a mission to bend the boundaries of traditional music. The band consists of Aoife O'Donovan providing vocals, fiddler Brittany Haas, cellist Tristan Clarridge, bass player Corey DiMario and banjo boy, Greg Liszt. Crooked Still's genre-bending sound is the combination of five distinctive musicians whose talents are in demand for a range of other projects. For example, Greg Lizst is back from spending time in Bruce Springsteen's Seeger Sessions band. Catch them while they're all together in one breathtaking show. As the Boston Globe says
'the most important folk group to emerge from Boston since the early 60s'.
