This week on the Chenango Sessions, we hear an encore performance from Lindsay McCaw and Aaron Jonah Lewis of the Corn Potato String Band, from Detroit, Michigan. I recorded Lindsay and Aaron when they stopped through Binghamton for a living room show in September of 2018. They’re both award-winning multi-instrumentalists, and their set today includes a variety of American traditional, comedy, gospel, and classic banjo music.
Funding for the Chenango Sessions is provided in part by a Project Grant from the Broome County Arts Council‘s United Cultural Fund.
