The Lonely Heartstring Band

Most people wouldn't automatically equate bluegrass with Boston. But, the city's Berklee College of Music has been a gathering place and inspirational force for talented roots musicians. The members of The Lonely Heartstring Band have that Berklee connection. The group, originally formed as a bluegrass Beatles cover band, has grown its repertoire since forming in 2012 " still mixing covers in with new songs created by Patrick M'Gonigle (fiddle, vocals), Matt Witler (mandolin, vocals), George Clements (guitar, vocals), Charles Clements (bass, vocals), and Gabe Hirshfeld (banjo). The band stopped by Beehive Productions Studio in Saranac Lake, New York in July 2017 to perform fresh songs (which will be included on their upcoming sophomore release in 2018,) for an exclusive Folk Alley Session.
