The Creaking Tree String Quartet Canada
Biography
The Creaking Tree String Quartet is a technically proficient instrumental outfit from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, formed in 2002, that leaps genre boundaries and fuses intricate styles. The result is an intellectual and yet deeply moving original sound: jazz forms sliding over a rootsy bluegrass base, with flashes of chamber music, reverence and avant-garde experimentation. The quartet earned a 2004 Juno Award nomination for their eponymous 2003 debut CD.
