Stillwater String Band w/ Special guest, Rev. Freakchild

The Stillwater String Band is an acoustic trio from central Massachusetts. Playing an eclectic mix of traditional and contemporary tunes that draws on the rich history of music in the Americas and beyond, the band presents a different show each night in a style that reflects the varied tastes of each of the players.

Whether belting out an old standard or giving a voice to an original composition there is a commitment to the song. Songs from our past tell us who we were. New compositions tell us who we've become. This is the music our forbears listened to on the front porch. Our parents listened on the radio. We keep the tradition alive by performing them for friends and family today.
