Lonesome Ace Stringband

Masters of their trade, The Lonesome Ace Stringband returns to Rivercity Stage. The trio bring grit, skill, and abandon to Americana music, bridging old-time bluegrass and folk traditions into a seamless hybrid of original material that is at once fresh and timeless. They are joined by a rotating cast of extraordinary upright bassists (including founding member Max Malone, James Mceleney, and Lotus Wight). The band moves freely between a sound so commanding it doesn’t seem like it should be coming from a stringband, to a sparse fragility that draws the listener closer. Whether singing about climate change, modern love, BBQ techniques or life’s inevitable existential crises, the band cuts to the core.

This performance is part of the Highway 19 Concert Series, supported by the Province of BC through BC Arts Council and BC Live, and the Government of Canada’s Department of Canadian Heritage.
