Yale University's Tangled Up in Blue is a sixteen member folkband
combining
voices and a range of instruments from guitar to fiddle, to mandolin
and
banjo. Their repertoire consists of the traditional American folk
genres of
country and bluegrass, a sampling of folk revival from the sixties and
seventies, as well as contemporary folk music by artists such as Greg
Brown
and John Prine.
TUIB, as the group is known, is recognized on the Yale campus for their
informal concerts and improvisational style. They go on spring tour
each
year and traditionally kick off the Main Stage performance at the New
Haven
Folk Festival every fall. Tangled Up in Blue has opened for performers
including Arlo Guthrie, Dar Williams, Sweet Honey in the Rock, Tom
Paxton
and Richard Thompson. “Keeping folk alive for a new generation,”
the men
and women of Tangled Up in Blue “do for folk what the Whiffenpoofs do
for a
cappella.”
