Details:
The Lowlands are an old timey/bluegrass/folk ensemble featuring singer/songwriters and instrumentalists Chris Kasper, Adrien Reju and Todd Barneson, dobro player Adam Davis and bassist Jeff Hiatt. They exist at the vanishing point where the earth meets the sky, the point where you're as low as can be and there's nowhere to go but up. It's the convergence of acoustic roots music in an urban landscape, a musical crossroads where sorrow and despair meet hope and joy, the intersection where five young musicians capture the wisdom and heart of American roots music with a fresh and youthful energy.

In the past year, The Lowlands have opened for Peter Rowan and Tony Trischka, were placed into regular rotation on WXPN 88.5 (Philadelphia), performed at the 2006 WXPN All About the Music Festival and appeared on Gene Shay's Folk Show.

Chris Kasper was the winner of the 2002 "Best Song" award at Mountain Stage's New Song Festival.

Prior to dedicating themselves to The Lowlands the members have accompanied artists such as David Bromberg, Amos Lee, Linda Ronstadt, Ralph Stanley and Ben Arnold.
