"The Done Gone Stringband" brings you true blue old-time music sounds from the hills, porches and kitchens of yesteryear. Playing vintage-sounding original material as well as a selection of the finest of traditional old-time songs, the Done Gone Stringband are two generations of the Hamilton family Bob Hamilton on frailing banjo, mandolin, dobro and vocals, , Sarah Hamilton on fiddle and vocals and Patrick Hamilton on frailing banjo and vocals and Anne Louise Genest on guitar and vocals and Nadine Landry on upright bass and vocals. Compelling three and four part harmonies, haunting melodies, and foot-stompin' instrumentals fuel this new band like a moonshine powered rocket.
