About
Stringband was founded in 1971 by Bob Bossin and Marie-Lynn Hammond and became a prominent Canadian folk ensemble through the 1970s and early 1980s. The group pioneered independent, artist-controlled recording in Canada and is remembered for topical originals such as "Dief Will Be the Chief Again" and the underground favorite "Show Us the Length." They toured internationally between 1971 and 1986 and have issued retrospective releases including the box set The Indispensable Stringband.
