“Bringing good songs to the table”
Succotash is a Portland based acoustic trio with roots in the Americana music tradition featuring old time, bluegrass, gospel, stringband and more. True to the group’s name, Succotash mixes it up with vocal harmonies and unusual arrangements, all with a flair for fun. The band, which formed in 2009, features Allison Handler on clawhammer banjo and guitar, Joe Liebezeit on mandolin, guitar and harmonica, and Mary Rondthaler on guitar and washtub bass. All three musicians share lead and harmony vocal parts as best suits the song. Their passion is to bring out the beauty of each song with just the right mix of vocal and instrumental support, giving the listener the opportunity to get right to the heart of the song.
Among their many influences, band members cite such varied artists as Iris Dement, The Carter Family, The Holy Modal Rounders, Ivan Rosenberg, The New Lost City Ramblers, The Dallas Stringband, Laurel Bliss, The Delmore Brothers and, of course, The Beatles.
