Boston-based band Loose Ends combines respect for traditional bluegrass with a free-wheeling eclecticism, layering rich vocal harmonies over a rousing instrumental foundation.

Multi-instrumentalist Cameron Freer is a math grad student at Harvard when he's not solving equations on the fiddle.

New England Country Music Organization Songwriter Of The Year, Dawn Kenney, joined Loose Ends in 2007. (More about her here.)

Chip Canty took up the bass after a bass guitar floated in from the ocean. (Says he switched to upright because it's more buoyant.)
