Concession 23 is an award-winning bluegrass band from the Ottawa Valley, founded on October 23, 2003. The name reflects the democratic nature of the band; while bluegrass bands have traditionally been autocratic in structure, Concession 23 is a group of equals. Collectively, there are 23 strings in the band, and we work together, conceding to one another as we strive to create a sound that is greater than the sum of its parts.
The band's strength is derived from its musical teamwork, its energetic playing style, and the relaxed relationship we establish with our audiences. |
