Old Sap

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.

Old Sap owns a “cowboy-sweet timber that rambles through his songs [and a] physical charisma that make his performances so engaging.”

“a range of musical expression that wanders between musings about nature’s cyclic harmony and the love and anguish inherent to the human condition.”

—Flathead Beacon

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.
