Old Hat Stringband

Old Hat Stringband is based out of Eliot, Maine. Formed in 2015, they have performed throughout New England and beyond, appearing at such world class stages as Prescott Park, Ossipee Valley Music Festival, Thomas Point Beach Bluegrass Festival, and many others. They create a sound that draws from bluegrass, old time, folk, and country traditions. The band is comprised of Whitney Roy (Guitar, Vocals), Steve Roy (Mandolin, Fiddle, Vocals), Amanda Kowalski (Bass), and Carolyn Kendrick (Fiddle, Vocals). Whitney’s lilting vocals provide the backbone of Old Hat’s vocal blend, while her solid rhythm guitar anchors the bands rhythm section. Steve is one of New England’s premier multi-instrumentalists, and has performed and toured with many of the acoustic world’s top acts. Amanda is one of the more sought after bass players in the worlds of bluegrass and old time music, and her rhythmic drive and energy on stage are second to none. Collectively, this trio fuses tight vocal harmonies with a propulsive acoustic rhythm section.
