Unleashing Albuquerque's Musical Spirit

ABQ Skeleton Crew is a seven member band which features luscious harmonies and an eclectic repertoire of tunes. We draw from old to modern folk traditions, with a sprinkling of folk pop songs, classic rock, and a growing range of originals added to the mix. From Istanbul, not Constantinople to John Ryan’s polka, we offer a wide range of instrumental combinations, including guitar, fiddle, dobro, ukulele, bass, accordion, keyboard, hammer and mountain dimmer, banjo, Cajon, and the occasional household appliance! Come kick up your heels and sooth your soul with the Crew!
