Whether they're playing for thousands at Carnegie Hall or commuters at the Grand Central subway station, the Ebony Hillbillies bring history alive with the vibrant, rousing sound of Americana. Echoing across generations and transcending racial and cultural boundaries, the Hillbillies are keeping an important legacy alive. As one of the last black string bands in the country, they take great pains to capture the traditional sound, all the while improvising and looking toward the future.
