Michael Jerome Browne & The Twin Rivers String Band

Heralded by the Globe and Mailas “an immensely gifted multi-instrumentalist and singer,” Michael Jerome Browne proves that old-time string band music is still alive and well, from Appalachian and Cajun to Western swing, country blues and jazz. As he explains in his liner notes, “Mostly it’s music for dancing.” The Twin Rivers String Band backs Browne’s distinctive raspy vocals with strong work on fiddle, banjo, mandolin, Cajun triangle and yodeling.
