The Homegrown String Band is returning to the Windsor Public Library with their unique repertoire of original and traditional music. Comprised of mother, father, and daughter, the trio adds their own musical DNA to an American tradition, performing original acoustic arrangements of the traditional music that has become part of the popular roots and folk rock canon. All the songs the band presents have stood the test of time by not only surviving, but thriving and flourishing for hundreds of years via the folk process and oral tradition. Many popular rock bands were founded by avid listeners and students of traditional music. Likewise The Homegrown String Band has drunk deeply from the well of blues, ballads, and breakdowns that have helped to shape the sounds of American popular music. In this program, the band will be sharing their own original interpretations of some of the traditional and early commercial recordings that have been covered by popular roots rockers over the years, along with a tasty sprinkling of their own original material inspired by the rural American string band and folk traditions of the nineteenth, twentieth, and twenty-first centuries.

Free to the public.
