Allemande North is a 21st century acoustic string band from central Massachusetts known for playing melodic tunes with a strong rhythm and high energy.
We play a variety of traditional and contemporary music from the New England, Southern, Old Time, Cape Breton, French Canadian, Celtic, and Scottish traditions and perform throughout New England at contra and square dances, festivals, concerts, and other public and private events. Often we're joined by musician friends whose talents and instruments add new color, energy and variety to our sound.
Formed from the Polymorphous String Band, members of Allemande North (left to right) are:

Jon lives in Marlboro, MA. He has been playing folk and rhythm guitar for over 40 years and the hammered dulcimer since 1990. Jon is a founding member of Allemande North, and its predecessor The Polymorphous String Band.
Lyn is also from Marlboro, MA and comes to Allemande North with her double bass from the
Polymorphous String Band. With a background in guitar and piano, Lyn became interested in playing
traditional music after dancing to it for a number of years. Lyn also sings with the award
winning A capella group Women of Note.
Dave lives in Grafton, MA and has been playing guitar for many years, mandolin for a lot of years,
and fiddle for a few years.
He has loved the sounds of acoustic musical styles since first hearing Bluegrass, and he loves
playing live music with people. Dave joined with Allemande North in 2011.
