Bluegrass with a Touch of the Beatles in Wrentham on March 11

The Original Congregational Church in Wrentham will be hosting the Lonely Heartstring Band on Saturday, March 11 at 7:30 p.m. Although calling themselves a classic Bluegrass quintet, these talented musicians have developed a style of their own, incorporating folk, pop and jazz, including songs by the Beatles and Paul Simon.
Nourished by deep roots in the expansive canon of traditional American music, the Lonely Heartstring Band embodies the modern American condition—an understanding and reverence for the past that informs a push into the future. Combining soulful instrumental virtuosity with soaring three-part harmonies, their growing repertoire of original songs and compositions showcases not only their considerable talents, but a dedication to meaningful roots-conscious music.
Since their beginnings in 2012 at Berklee College of Music, the Lonely Heartstring Band has generated a devoted following of music-lovers across North America, performing and headlining at major music festivals and historic venues from Western Canada to California, from Kentucky to New Hampshire. Whether it’s a festival stage, theatre, or intimate listening room, the Lonely Heartstring Band always delivers a dynamic, diverse, and heartfelt performance. Over the last three years of touring, the band has crafted shows that generate a genuine connection and bring crowds to their feet.
Ken Irwin, a founder of Rounder Records, said “The Lonely Heartstring Band is not only one of the most exciting bands musically we’ve heard in a while, but they combine artistry with a great attitude and commitment that makes them irresistible. Plus, they’ve just made an amazing record!” George Varga of the San Diego Union Tribune said “this fast-rising young quintet is the most notable bluegrass band to come out of Berklee well, maybe ever.”
