The Green Bean String Band
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
A new rising 5-piece string band out of Ashville, North Carolina with a combined age of 83 years. These youngsters have cooked up a down home sound, combining bluegrass, old time, and country music, and even a little Dixieland jazz. Their traditional songs with new, youthful energy and a subtle rock-n-roll spirit create a fresh, new sound thatll keep you on the edge of your seat.
