With five lead singers and a stockpile of songs from all over the musical spectrum, the Munich String Band always puts on a varied and exciting show. Equally proficient at traditional bluegrass and the modern sound, with everything from swing to gospel to blues adding variety to the show, the band’s signature style is bringing new attention to the genre. The tight rhythm section supports the rich harmonies and expert instrumental solos, and the band can go from gentle and fine to dirty and rocking in a matter of moments. The five friends played together in various formations for years before finally forming the band in the spring of 2016, immediately getting to work by producing a CD and a film soundtrack in their first half year in addition to dozens of live performances. The Munich String Band is following in the footsteps of the fine string bands throughout history, simultaneously paying homage to and expanding the tradition.
