Old Soles is the duo of Masha and Geff Crawford, blending moonshine-flavored Americana with a twist of wry-whiskey humor. You’ll hear roots-inspired driving fiddle, bluesy, rhythmic banjo, and close harmonies from two masters of traditional music, interweaving old with new, Appalachian with Irish, Kate Wolf and John Prine with Monty Python and Groucho Marx.
Masha has been calling the Contra Dance / Barn Dance at Strawberry since the early 2000s and at festivals across the US and Europe for over 40 years. Everybody is welcome, no experience necessary ~ it's a dance party!
Geff Crawford's fun and funny songs have been delighting families at Strawberry for 20+ years, with fiddle, banjo, ukulele, jawharp, guitar, and classics like "From The Indies To The Andes In His Undies".
After many years of separate musical wanderings, fate and fiddles brought them together, and Geff & Masha have been making beautiful, toe-tapping, driving, energetic, red-hot, and adjective-laden traditional music together ever since.
