NYC/Hoboken NJ
Elena and Boo lead their Demolition String Band across some less-travelled highways and byways of the Americana, Bluegrass and Folk music panorama. Mixing their own original material with the traditional and the not-so-traditional, they offer soulful duet harmonies, rustic string playing and their own imaginative and entertaining flair for recasting a far-flung song that, though you never saw it coming, goes home with you.
Demolition String Band has toured the U.S. and Europe sharing bills with acts like The Avett Brothers, Ryan Adams, Joan Osborne, Ricky Skaggs, Southern Culture On The Skids, Roger McGuinn, and many others. They recently completed a well received duo tour of Ireland traditional music pubs. They will be joined by Neil Helme on bass and fiddler Nick Reeb who last played the Joe Val festival with his former band King Wilkie.
