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.
