SIX DOLLAR STRING BAND

A mainstay of Old Time music in Colorado for over a decade, the members of Six Dollar String Band play a passionate, eclectic, and refreshingly honest array of String Band music native to their home in the Centennial State.

The award-winning band’s second record, “Mayday,” is a 7” vinyl album that documents the early development of their distinct Colorado sound, as well as their special approach to presenting their recorded music. An EP at length, the album’s ripping fiddle and banjo tunes, backed with thumping bass and melodically-driven guitar, are woven together with audio collages that are composed from field recordings that band members collected onsite in Mayday, Colorado.

The band‘s most recent recording project is their most ambitious to date, yielding two separate albums entitled “Big Six” and “Fire On The Mountain”—the latter a double LP and the former an LP adding drummer Pat Dressen to the lineup. Recorded on location—this time at Willowtail Springs in Mancos, Colorado— both albums will be available by the Summer of 2020.

The Six Dollar String Band is:

Robin Davis, Guitar
Tony Holmquist, Fiddle/Banjo
Stephen Sellers, Bass
Brendan Shafer, Banjo/Fiddle
