The Boston Globe calls violinist-composer Jake Armerding “the most gifted and promising songwriter to emerge from the Boston folk scene in years.” Armerding grew up playing classical violin and listening to 80’s pop radio. His neo-classical string quartet ROSIN released their debut at Carnegie Hall in 2018, and he splits his time between that ensemble, his Patreon project Shelter Island, and a ridiculously high-testosterone bluegrass band called Barnstar!. Over the course of three thousand performances, he has shared the stage with Bela Fleck, Nickel Creek, Josh Ritter and Toad the Wet Sprocket.
