Live at NW Folklife 2012!

Renegade Stringband — Sat, 19 May 2012 20:20:58 +0000

We have a thrilling Memorial Day weekend planned in Seattle this year! We’ll be rambling around the NW Folklife Festival all weekend long, Friday – Sunday, and playing on the Alki Court Stage on Sunday, May 27 at 5:50pm.

On Saturday night, May 26, we’ll roll up to the Wallingford neighborhood to perform at the Gypsy Cafe with our friends Pickled Okra. They are magnificent, and they have a new album called Sounds Like Chicken to which you should lend your ears.

When we’re not listening or dancing to all the great, free music at Folklife, we’ll be in the streets, looking somewhat like this–but with Ben Hunter on fiddle:

We cannot thank you enough, e’erbody! Please stayed tuned to hear all the music that we are able to create thanks to your generous support!

Live with Dead Winter Carpenters & Twisted Whistle!

Renegade Stringband — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 18:16:04 +0000

This Saturday night, February 11, you can hear our band live with Dead Winter Carpenters and Twisted Whistle!

The show’s at Mt. Tabor Theater in Southeast Portland, tickets are available here.

We’re also excited that last week’s show at High Dive garnered a review from Gwendolyn Elliot of the Seattle Times. Here’s what Ms. Elliot has to say:

“Renegade Stringband started things off with their lively, uptempo bluegrass, effortlessly trading instrumental solos like a jazz sextet throughout frisky covers of Bob Dylan, Tom Waits, and Black Keys tunes. Lead by front woman Jessica Jariss’ bold, rootsy vocals, the band played a generous set and had a few fans dancing by the stage, but the venue was so crammed everywhere else my boyfriend and I left for a drink at a nearby bar hoping the crowd would thin out by the next act . . .”
