Hearth Music The String Fingers Band www.stringfingers.com Connecticut's String Fingers Band are purveyors of authentic, timeless music, where taste, talent, and an elusive soulfulness are the operative agents. Their style ambles from rootsy Americana through old-timey folk with occasional forays into the rarefied air of progressive bluegrass. The unique yet familiar sound draws heavily from their original catalog and also highlights some of their biggest influences, including Tim O'Brien, Tony Rice, James Taylor, John Hartford, and Bela Fleck. A vast repertoire means every concert comes with welcome surprises, from rustic, impassioned originals to barn-burning fiddle tunes and creative takes on classic American songs.
