Band Info:
This young group from Greenville, SC wows crowds with a unique blend of progressive folk rock, jazz, and americana. Influenced by groups such as Nickel Creek, Bela Fleck and the
Flecktones, Acoustic Syndicate and The Strokes, The Bent Strings launch out wherethese groups leave off, offering audiences tight and energetic covers and fresh originals. Not
afraid to experiment, these guys leverage their backgrounds in pop, classical and jazz to fuse and genre-bend their way through skillfully improvised phrases to the delight of all who
listen. With this group, there’s never a dull moment. It’s always “art-in-the-making” and “creativity-on-demand.” It’s always fresh, it’s always new – and the crowds always go away smiling.
Press:
“This young, up and coming band was on the money with a fresh and energetic perspective to some tunes that left you mouth-wide-open in awe. To think that such young kids could play such complex arrangements to a tee was just inspiring to say the least … The youngest being only 19, these guys have lots of time to grow and blossom in to stars and by the look of it they might take the scene by storm very soon.”

“What do you get when you combine a family of musicians with classical backgrounds that play a hybrid of jazz and bluegrass music? You get something the likes of which you’ve never heard before. The Bent Strings are currently doing something that only a handful of other musicians in
the nation are doing.”
