Lindsay Straw
 

The Ivy Leaf

Comprised of Lindsay Straw (guitar, bouzouki, vocals), Dan Accardi (accordion, concertina, fiddle), Armand Aromin (fiddle, English concertina, vocals) and Ben Gagliardi (concertina, harmonica, vocals), The Ivy Leaf sings rich, powerful songs and plays bouncy, danceable tunes, highlighting the best of traditional music from Ireland, England, Scotland, and America. First formed to explore the interconnected streams of folk music that cross the northern Atlantic, the band interprets a thorough and diverse repertoire - often culled from print collections and field recordings of the 19th and early 20th centuries - through a lens of ringing voices, lyrical strings, and punchy free reeds.

“...vibrant and sure-footed, and tailored to fully reveal each tune’s character and personality.” Sean Smith, Boston Irish Reporter
