The Ale House String Band (AHSB) was originally formed as a pick-up group in 2009 at The Narrows Tavern in Waldoboro, ME. They codified their style, "chamber folk," while playing traditional tunes and covers of popular folk music. Their style is unique, melding the theory and techniques of classical music with Traditional Folk styles. Oren Robinson is a classically trained vocalist, Brian Dunn is a wandering soul who picked up music along the way, and April Reed-Cox has a Masters degree in Music Performance. The three have an uncanny ability to improvise music on the spot and occasionally offend random Baptists.
In 2013 they released their debut album of traditional songs, "Affairs of Common Living." and have recently released a new album of original material, "Chasing Gold." They perform anywhere within a days ride, and can be found happily picking, plucking, bowing, strumming, and singing away in a plethora of venues. They have recently performed for "207" on WCHS 6, Rock City Cafe in Rockland Maine, King Eiders Pub in Damariscotta Maine, Johnson Hall in Gardiner Maine, and at various coffee houses and listening rooms throughout the state of Maine.
