The Zeichners are a family band made up of brother and sisters, Yasi on Irish and Old-time fiddle, Loula on 5-string and tenor banjo, and Oliver on Uilleann pipes and tin-whistle. Hailing originally from Budapest, Hungary, they have grown up and lived in the hill country of central Vermont and Northfield. Here they have connected deeply with their own musical traditions through living room jams, sessions, work with mentors, classes at the Summit School, and performances with Young Tradition Vermont. Practically everything they know has been derived from exposure to the traditional and roots music that is carried on in the area by many terrific musicians locally. The Zeichner Family Band is a testament to Vermont’s place as a crossroads for traditional music where a new generation of players can find an “in”, and get what they need to grow their music and thrive. Their appearance at the New World Festival is part of an ongoing partnership between the Chandler and Young Tradition Vermont.
