New Dangerfield

Buzzworthy Black string band New Dangerfield releases their second single, "Put No Walls Around Your Garden," co-written by band member Kaia Kater and songwriter Billy Keane. This follows their debut single, "Dangerfield Newby," a rollicking, reimagined fiddle instrumental that showcased the band’s energetic musical prowess.

Black music lies at the heart of most American roots music, but a century of erasure has obscured the origins of the music today. Now four brilliant musicians, each visionaries in their own right, are re-centering Black traditions in string band music. New Dangerfield brings together Afrofuturist fiddler Jake Blount with composer, songwriter, and old-time banjo player Kaia Kater, bluegrass banjo iconoclast Tray Wellington, and powerfully versatile bassist Nelson Williams.
