Biography Renegade Stringband plays Northwest Bluegrass music. The band formed in Portland, Oregon during the summer of 2010, uniting around their love of traditional music, hard-stomping acoustic songs, and bluesy vocal harmonies. When they aren’t playing original numbers or interpreting the work of legends like Woody Guthrie or Ella Fitzgerald, the band covers everyone from Tom Waits to the Black Keys. The band features singer Jessica Jarris, mandolinist Ben Larsen, Austin Moore on guitar, Joe Seamons plays banjo & harmonica, and Allen Clayton plucks & slaps the upright bass. All five members sing.
