Hailing from the great state of North Carolina, Ellis Dyson & The Shambles are blazing a new trail in traditional Appalachian music with their foot-stompin', jazz-infused whiskey folk. Known for their explosive live shows and thrilling musicianship, the Shambles are sure to make it feel like you've been transported to a different time.
It all started when a young Ellis Dyson (banjo, vocals) came to see a jazz concert at UNC. It was on that fateful day that our Southern hero met a New Yorker named Danny Abrams (saxophone). They took this Northern and Southern fusion to the streets in town, playing some of Ellis' earliest compositions. The band grew one by one, with the blistering speed and jazz prowess of Nathan Huvard (acoustic guitar), the steady thunder and Nashville flair of Ford Garrard (bass fiddle), the fierce growl of the fiery Matt Hall (trumpet), and the dazzling dexterity of Jonathan Ng (fiddle).
