Powered by fiddle, banjo, and mandolin, with a driving underpinning of bass, guitar, and piano, the Barn Owl Band is one of the Midwest's leading string bands. Blending new compostions and old, and drawing on Celtic, contradance, and old-time styles, the Owls carry the tradition of barn dance music into the present and future.
