Long time friends who have met in Ireland and France, and discovered mutual music interests.

Traditional Irish Music, Old-Time American, Cajun, and Swing

That's right! We play music from four different acoustic styles and traditions. Included are: harp compositions from the 18th century, traditional Irish dance tunes, old-time fiddle tunes and songs from the Appalachian mountains, Cajun two-steps and waltzes from the Louisianna bayous, as well as swing and pop numbers from French Gypsy sources to tin pan alley

Availability

The Impossible Stringband is available for acoustic music venues, festivals and events anywhere that variety, spirit, and a sense of tradition in music is appreciated
