Beverley Street String Band

From Staunton, VA, Beverley Street String Band is a juggernaut of musical energy. This power-house trio of master traditional musicians features Janie Rothfield’s dynamic fiddling, Bill Wellington’s driving clawhammer banjo and Allan Carr’s inventive back up guitar, as well as fantastic singing by each member of the band.  Their repertoire includes hundreds of old time fiddle tunes, songs from Charlie Poole, Uncle Dave Macon, the Carter Family, and others plus original songs and tunes.
Featuring Scottish singer and band guitarist, Allan Carr, Beverley Street also plays Celtic music with a variety of songs and slow airs, waltzes, jigs and reels from Scotland and Ireland.
