Poet from Chicago, rambled out to Montana, cut a banjo from a tamarack, strings across the country, foot like a freight train, voice rushing down over lush Appalachia, sings a thrush tune through the rush hour and into your long-forgotten prairie dreams.
Folk. Folk Rock. Americana.

A songster who plays the long range and tradition of Americana—folk, blues, country, jazz, rock, indie. Old Sap connects to the roots of the banjo by exploring its history and potential as a rhythmic-melodic instrument. With a stompbox to solidify the beat, it’s a full-band experience in a solo act.

Sap also plays plenty of familiar tunes—John Prine, the Avett Brothers, Irish trad, Tom Waits, My Morning Jacket, Bon Iver, Talking Heads—weaving these through hours of original songs, stories, & poems.

Whether playing solo, with sparse accompaniment or a full band, Old Sap brings a time-machine party full of rhythm, humor, poetry, & catharsis.
