Please join us Saturday Sept. 2nd for a concert with The Press Gang!
I first heard The Press Gang at The New World Music Festival in Randolph many years ago. I was blown away- so excited to have them with us in Ripton!

A bold new sound has emerged in New England’s traditional music scene: The Press Gang fuses the talents of squeezebox player Christian “Junior” Stevens, fiddler Alden Robinson, flute-player and vocalist Hanz Araki, and guitarist Owen Marshall into a high-octane musical partnership. The quartet blends their skill and fluency in traditional Irish music with their curiosity and aptitude for other styles. The joy that these musicians pour into playing music together is unmistakable and infectious. The result is a unique sound; at once energetic and sensitive, innovative and reverent.

“An Irish music phenomenon in America” — Irish Music Magazine

“One of those rare bands that are ingenious, driving, thoughtful and yet have great respect for the tradition.” — John Doyle

“Not unlike new-grass pioneer Nickel Creek’s self-titled debut in that it takes refuge in a tradition, but uses that context to shine.” — The Portland Press Herald

“Outstanding musical expertise, blending of contrasting influences, and finely-balanced, integrated style…pure exhilaration for the ears.” — Folkwords

“…each instrument is aware of its role [and is] played with a gentleness that contrasts with the high paced reels — but still retains the sparkle.” —Irish Music Magazine
