I just love it when talented, energetic players take traditional forms to new places. Corner House is just such a band. Their technical chops are seriously "top-shelf." But more than that, their music is performed with such enthusiasm and heart that you really can't help but get swept up in it. This is going to be a terrific show and I can't wait to see them!
Corner House gets its name from an old Victorian home at the corner of Murdock and Mapleton in Brighton, Massachusetts. Here, Ethan Setiawan (mandolin), Louise Bichan (fiddle), Ethan Hawkins (guitar), and Casey Murray (cello), found musical family in one another.
Graduates of the Berklee College of Music, together theyโve created a singular sound that incorporates old-time, Scottish, progressive bluegrass, and folk. Rooted in a close interpersonal bond, Corner House has garnered attention for their energetic and intricate compositions.ย The quartetโs unique strength is in their openness to musical possibility. On their debut full-length album, How Beautiful Itโs Been, the band reveals the sublime result of that mindset.
