The Lonesome Ace Stringband @ Parson Hall

Purchase Tickets

The second show of our Live Kicks series is happening at Parson Community Hall! We're welcoming the Lonesome Ace Trio to the stage....

Masters of their trade, The Lonesome Ace Stringband bring grit, skill and abandon to Americana music, bridging old-time, bluegrass and folk traditions into a seamless hybrid of original material that is at once fresh and timeless.

The trio’s sound is anchored in the fiddle and clawhammer banjo of John Showman and Chris Coole. They are joined by a rotating cast of extraordinary upright bassists (including founding member Max Malone, James Mceleney, and Lotus Wight). The band moves freely between a sound so commanding it doesn’t seem like it should be coming from a stringband, to a sparse fragility that draws the listener closer. Whether singing about climate change, modern love, BBQ techniques or life’s inevitable existential crises, the band cuts to the core. They can also turn and churn out a tune with so much verve that it will make your heart spin and set the dance floor swirling. Their versatility is a testament to their unique sound, sure to intrigue and captivate any listener.

Purchase tickets online or in person at the Art Gallery of Golden, 516 9 Ave N, Golden, BC, V0A 1H0. Tickets are available at the door — if not sold out.
