Old Sap-Full Band

Old Sap—poet from Chicago, rambled out to Montana, cut a banjo from a tamarack, strings across the country, foot like a freight train, voice rushing down over lush Appalachia, sings a thrush tune through the rush hour and into your long-forgotten prairie dreams. Folk. Folk Rock. Americana.

This show finds Old Sap joined by an eccentric ensemble of Asheville’s best—Quinn Sternberg on bass, Jacob Bruner on keys and trombone, Jacob Baumann on drums, Shane O’Brien on guitar, and Lyndsay Pruett on fiddle. Take a tour through over a century of music—from blues and jazz roots to psychedelia to spoken word to original tunes fished out of streams and plucked from peach trees—all wrapped in a rhythm machine finely tuned for you to dance your kneecaps off.
