  • Description

    Still Crooked is an ensemble effort of inspired music making that moves the bands' impossible to pigeonhole style in new directions while honouring their folk roots. "It's hard to pin down our music," bass player Corey DiMario says.
    "We play improvised old time music, bluegrass, folk and our own songs within the broad context of a string band. Like a lot of today's bands, we have modern and traditional influences that confuse the boundaries. We want to keep blurring those lines to make something all our own."

    On this new release the group continues to evolve. Much like moonshine distilled in the apparatus that inspired their name, Crooked Still is still fermenting. And the music here is undeniably intoxicating.

    Crooked Still is: Aoife O'Donovan (vocals, guitar, baritone ukulele, piano, glockenspiel), Brittany Haas (five string fiddle), Dr Gregory Liszt (banjo), Tristan Clarridge (cello, fiddle) and Corey DiMario (double bass, tenor guitar).
