More from the Fiddle Sax Fusion Band's Facebook page:

The Fiddle-Sax Fusion Band was started by husband-and-wife team Jessie and Brian Stark to provide safe, socially distanced outdoor concerts every week for their neighborhood during the COVID-19 pandemic. When the lock-down began, Jessie (classical violinist in many local orchestras) and Brian (a regular at jazz clubs in town) found themselves with no gigs to play and no one other than each other to play with. They found common ground in fiddle music and the Fiddle-Sax Fusion Band was born. Joined by their neighbor, percussionist Stephen Busath, they perfected a repertoire of Old Time and Irish fiddle tunes and folk hymns with a blues twist. The music was such a hit in their neighborhood that they soon added weekly performances on the Rose Bowl Tavern's outdoor patio, and are in demand for concerts and live streams for organizations like the Champaign-Urbana Independent Media Center, On DeBand Live, the Bean Blossom Music Series, and the Urbana Free Library.
