SUMMARY:Gawler Family Band
DESCRIPTION:The Gawlers are a fun-loving\, fiddling family band-- from t
 he heart of Maine-- with shining smiles and joyful sounds.\n\nJohn and E
 llen Gawler are master fiddle and banjo players and their three daughter
 s\, Molly\, Edith and Elsie grew up with the music and formed a band of 
 their own - The Gawler Sisters. The band includes "brother" Bennett Kone
 sni and Ethan Tischler (Elsie's partner.) The full band has a gorgeous a
 nd high-spirited sound of string instruments (fiddle\, banjo\, guitar\, 
 cello\, bass) as well as harmony singing.\n\nABOUT THE GAWLER FAMILY BAN
 D\n\nThe Gawler Family brings you a delightful assortment of songs and t
 unes rooted in the traditional music of Maine and the Northeast. John an
 d Ellen\, together with their daughters Molly\, Edith\, Elsie\, and “b
 rother” Bennett Konesni\, and Ethan Tischler (Elsie's partner) join th
 eir intertwining family harmonies with fiddles\, banjo\, cello\, guitar\
 , and sometimes a few jokes.\n\nInspired by years of playing for dances 
 in the old Grange halls\, the Gawlers may be best known for their rollic
 king renditions of dance tunes in 'the Downeast style' with its origins 
 in the Scots-Irish and French Canadian traditions. Their repertoire also
  includes a wide variety of old and new sounds\, with highly spirited de
 livery of selections that may include a gutsy shanty or work song\, a he
 art-wrenching ballad\, a poignant a cappella number featuring the sister
 s\, or an amusing ode to everyday life. With a particular focus on senti
 ments that reflect life in rural Maine\, their unique arrangements are e
 specially engaging and often go along with anecdotes of historical or hu
 morous content.
