Firmly rooted in the musical traditions of New England & Maritime Canada, Scotland, Ireland, and Appalachia, Sap Line blends these connected traditions, exploring a palette of rich harmonic possibilities through the playing of Old Time fiddler Fiona Stowell, New England piano and clawhammer banjo player Emmett Stowell, and singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Grace Martin. The trio adds a fresh and youthful flavor to their arrangements of energetic jigs and reels, lyrical 3-part harmony singing, and foot-stomping Old Time favorites. The band name, Sap Line, comes from the Vermont tradition of tapping trees to make maple syrup. Together, the band taps into their various communities of musicians and mentors who came before, sharing their legacy in dynamic, high-spirited performances.
