Old Baby Mackerel

Their music uses banjo, mandolin, guitar and double bass to get knees bouncing and elbows swinging to the sweet harmonies, blistering solos and driving rhythm of the authentic bluegrass sound. Be prepared to be transported back in time and space to early 20th century North America where songs dramatised the small town fascination with locomotion, love and the veneration of bootleg liquor.

Recently featured on BBC 6 Music, in The British Bluegrass News and Bluegrass Today, Old Baby Mackerel are one of the UK’s top bluegrass acts - that impossibly illusive blend of traditional Appalachian virtuosity and hard driving rhythm mixed with modern sensibility, tasteful originals, three-part harmonies and mind-boggling technical wizardry.
