New American music forged in Spain: The unorthodox string band Veradale illuminates a new approach to folk fusion. With storytelling at the forefront, Veradale challenges and embraces audiences with original compositions and refreshing arrangements. This virtuosic ensemble was originally brought together by violist Drew Keeve, seeking a progressive bluegrass sound. As seen in both prestigious and intimate venues, veradale has broken beyond this notion, incorporating elements of jazz, funk, and prog rock while maintaining a cohesive, signature narrative.
