Featuring the unusual instrumental lineup of cello, banjo, bass, and voice, Crooked Still redefines traditional music with their startling -- and mighty infectious -- originality. Drawing from bluegrass, old-time and contemporary folk traditions, the classically trained, Boston-based quartet put out a killer combination of driving, earthy grooves and soaring vocals.

On their debut album, Hop High, they can be found digging deep into classics like "Darling Corey" and "Shady Grove" to reveal the dark, wild energy at the heart of the music while surprising listeners at every turn with their interplay and shifting harmonies.

Inventive cello virtuoso Rushad Eggleston (Fiddlers 4, Darol Anger's Republic of Strings) trades solos with bravura banjo player Gregory Liszt, while the expressive, feathery voice of Aoife O'Donovan hangs above and Corey DiMario's double-bass grounds it all.
