Cane Creek String Band
Cane Creek String Band is Charleston's only Traditional Appalachian old time string band!
REVIEWS:
"If you're keen on experiencing the crisp mountain air and cold springs of Appalachia sans the uphill drive, give the Cane Creek String Band a listen. With banjos aplenty, mandolin, fiddle, upright bass, guitar, and June Carter-like vocals, the Charleston-based band will have you in a Smoky Mountain state of mind in no time. The band got together two years ago, and the quintet is quite the roster of old-time music aficionados. Banjoist Dave Linder is one of the founders of Lowcountry Friends of Old Time Music, a group that meets monthly to cut up and talk about their love of 1930s' numbers. Clawhammer banjoist Dr. Edwin McAllister is an English professor and member of the Mississippi Old Time Music Society. Vocalist and guitarist Lane Gregory McAllister sounds as if she just stepped out of Irish folklore and has a great grandfather who had a rag band back in the day. Bassist Gina Perez has a Cuban and Puerto Rican background that gives her an enviable edge when it comes to putting down rhythms. And self-taught fiddler Bertha Booker played throughout Ireland and now leads local Irish sessions. Put 'em all together along with a vintage dresscode, and it's easy to see why the bluegrass folksters opened this summer for the Carolina Chocolate Drops' Dom Flemons. The Cane Creek String Band is just one of several acts to join the Awendaw Barn Jam this week.”
