Biography
The Lonely Heartstring Band formed in 2012 when Charles Clements (bass & vocals), George Clements (guitar & lead vocals), Gabe Hirshfeld (banjo), Patrick M’Gonigle (fiddle, vocals), and Matt Witler (mandolin) came together in Boston. Four of the five had first met years earlier as students at Berklee College of Music. The resulting quintet delivers a lively mix of classic close-harmony singing, country-folk-pop, and modern newgrass instrumental feats that connects the approaches of Bill Monroe, the Beatles, and the Punch Brothers. After earning awards and building a following on the festival circuit, the group signed with Rounder in 2015 and completed work on its first studio album, Deep Waters, issued the following June.
