Guitar, fiddle, banjo and voice is the core of the Swedish old
time trio, New Valley String Band. The fiddle is carrying the
melodies together with the rhythmical clawhammer banjo,
while the guitar is keeping a steady pulse. The musicians
base their music on the south Appalachian mountain
traditions and have found their own way of interpreting
these traditions .
A concert with New Valley String Band includes a well
planned mix of both energetic party-hits from the
Appalachies and emotional arrangements of heartbreaking
ballads . Harmonies, groove and bluesy pentatonic scales,
combined with stories from another time is what makes a
concert with New Valley String Band unique.
