Wild Aster

Wild Aster is a three piece string band with Dominica Knapp on vocals, clawhammer banjo, mandolin and guitar, Michael J Stone on vocals guitar and mandolin and Casey Haberman on vocals, dobro and guitar. Together they create rich three part harmonies and strong instrumental performances with a range of traditional bluegrass and folk.

Wild Aster is a folk, Americana, and bluegrass trio rooted in central Maryland, performing throughout the mid-Atlantic at festivals, theaters, breweries, and private events. The band was born out of a local bluegrass jam in Frederick, MD, where the members first connected over their shared love of string band music. Each musician brings a unique blend of influences and skills to the group, resulting in Wild Aster’s signature eclectic sound.
The band features Casey Haberman (dobro, guitar, vocals), Dominica Knapp (banjo, mandolin, guitar, vocals), and Michael Stone (guitar, mandolin, vocals). Their debut single, “Empty Handed,” was praised by Your Town Music as “thoughtful,” “nostalgic,” and “velvety.” Blending the yearnful spirit of traditional bluegrass with the storytelling wit of John Prine and their own originals about love, loss, and heartbreak, Wild Aster offers a sound that is as likely to make you stomp your feet as shed a tear.

We have our own sound equipment. Will need access to power.
