Formed less than 2 years ago, Union Street Preservation Society is one of the most followed bands of the NYC’s folk and roots revival. Mixing bluegrass with folk, old-time, blues and early jazz, the quintet is a crossroads for five diverse musicians to celebrate and build upon the American roots tradition. Their spirited vocal harmonies and runaway-train instrumentals breathe fire and soul into timeless standards, spirituals and honky-tonk anthems, emphasizing the freshness of their original tunes. Whether performing in a bar or on a barge, the Union Street Preservation Society radiates an authentic energy, ensuring a vibrant night of fun. They are just about to release their debut EP. On April 29 the band will be playing at Sullivan Hall in the West Village for the 40th birthday of the legendary Connecticut country band Max Creek.
