The Ale House String Band was a happy accident caused by the artistic whirlpool that is Waldoboro, Maine. Oren Robinson is a classically trained vocalist, Brian Dunn is a wandering soul who picked up music along the way, and April Reed-Cox has a master’s degree in music performance. The three have an uncanny ability to improvise music on the spot.
