A collaboration of four red-hot players, Riley Baugus, Debra Clifford, Sabra Guzmán, and Emily Schaad, this all-star string-band combines a love of old time traditions with a fresh new take – plenty of singing, layered arrangements, and influences from punk to vintage Americana to gospel. While the players overlapped in their interests and projects prior to forming Old Buck, the band itself was born as one of those edge-of-your-seat, time-of-your-life jam sessions that take flight and never quite come back down. Now the band has poured all that passion and enthusiasm into their debut self-titled album. With each member an acclaimed artist in their own right, it’s no exaggeration to say that Old Buck is a supergroup of Southern roots musicians. Keep the magic going into Valentine’s Day with hands-on workshops with Riley, Debra, Sabra and Emily in old time banjo, fiddle and guitar at 1pm on February 14th.

Baltimore/DC based American roots group Bumper Jacksons open in a very special trio format with clarinet, bass, guitar, washboard and their signature vocal harmonies.
