Occasional String Band Music

The Occasional String Band has existed in Spokane, WA for decades and has recorded 3 spectacular CDs. Their music is mostly acoustic. Styles are blues, bluegrass, rock, jazz, folk, etc.. Lyrics are sometimes wildly amusing, as is their website and occasional newsletter. The Occasional String Band takes a holistic approach to music, accounting for the potential for interconnectedness of all things, real and imagined. Motto: We are damned good, but we don't let it go to our heads. International recognition is probably just around the corner.

Influences include artists we like, styles of music we cannot play, books we have read, movies we've seen, people we've known, weather, events, physics, politics, sociology, theology, astrological forecasts, and many other subjects on which we are incredibly ignorant yet maintain strong opinions.

We have performed for such venues as clubs, coffeehouses, festivals, weddings (including Mormon weddings), and nudist conventions Despite the indifference and occasional hostility hurled at original music, we believe (delusionally perhaps) that our music is too good to give up on. We've been striving impotently for commercial success for over 15 years!
