WHAT IS RABBIT STAMPEDE?

RABBIT STAMPEDE is a folk band performing primarily celtic traditional music, with forays into early (medieval and renaissance) music and other ethnic traditions. Led by fiddler and vocalist Paul Butler and grounded by the high energy rhythms of guitarist/citternist Chris Robinson, Rabbit Stampede also features virtuoso Kirsten Erwin on flute and pennywhistle. The emergant sound brings together the vibrancy of folk and early traditions with more modern sensibilities of structure and form. Recently reconstituted from the earlier incarnation as Burlap Lute, Rabbit Stampede is just digging its own new burrow!

Rabbit Stampede (so named from the rollicking pet bunnies owned by the members, especially Chris's "zoom bunny" Spot) draws from the diverse backgrounds of its members to combine a variety of styles and sounds!
