Tiger Maple String Band

Created with mySpace Profile Editor



Tiger Maple String Band



blossomed from their



shared love



of old time music.



Fred, and Barry had jammed



for many years in different configurations



experimenting with different tastes of music.



At this same time,



Justine and Alison spent countless hours,



as well as most of their young lives,



playing the violin



and becoming very good fiddlers.



All attended



the Great Blue Heron Music Festival for years



and continued to return year after year



to get another dose of



the roots, vibes, and love that was poured out



from the old time bands.



These five musicians gathered around



an old wood burner on



many, chilly nights, starting to create



their own sound and explore



the ever-changing form of old time music.



Sometime in the summer of 2003,



Fred met Lori



while she was working at a local coffee shop.



After some coffee and conversation,



he asked her if she would like to join the band.



Loris beautiful voice and guitar playing soon



became responsible for giving the band



that special sparkle, something that only



bright female vocals can bring.



Tiger Maple String Band performs



at many places:



the Great Blue Heron Music Festival,



locally at various clubs and beer joints,



dances,



as well as private gatherings,



back porches,



front porches,



etc.
