The Buck and a Quarter Quartet

This "quartet and a quarter" has made its mission to play forgotten gems - as well as favorites - of the golden age of American popular music - and vintage-inspired originals (we call them "un-originals"), all on strings, with some additional instruments like C-melody saxophone, clarinet, temple blocks and bell tree.

The Buck and a Quarter Quartet has played great venues, events and festivals, including Joe's Pub, Jimmy's No. 43, Red Room at KGB Bar, Edible New York, Positively 8th Street, Club Wit's End, Will Friedwald's Clip Joint, the Parkside Lounge and Otto's Shrunken Head in Manhattan, and Jalopy Theatre and School of Music, SISTERS Bklyn and Freddy's Bar and Back Room in Brooklyn.

You NEVER know who's going to drop into our shows: we never know, either. Our regular guests include Kat Edmonson, Mara Kaye, Bria Skonberg, Jim Fryer, Jim Wildman, Al Street, David Ostwald, Evan Arntzen and Arnt Arntzen.
