John Showman (Fiddle) and Chris Coole (Banjo), have played together in a couple of thousand shows over twenty years or more, with bands such as The Foggy Hogtown Boys and The Lonesome Ace String Band. They have developed a deep and instinctive musical bond. Their music lurks in a truly unique space that is somewhere on the outskirts of Old-time, Bluegrass, and Folk. The songs of John Hartford, Hank Williams, Dock Boggs, and The Band share space with the fiddle tunes of Eck Robertson and Ed Haley. The duo’s original songs and tunes take in all these vistas and paint something both personal and timely. Native Canadians, they have performed widely across North America and at many top European music festivals.
