Sally Schaefer is a multi-instrumentalist and vocalist with classical background in piano, violin, and voice, and master’s degrees in ethnomusicology and library science. She is best known for her work as a Buffalo-based violinist in genres as diverse as Americana, Celtic music, rock, hip-hop, polka, and punk, playing along side local artists Tyler Bagwell, Creek Bend, Buffalo Bluegrass Allstars, McCarthyizm, Celtic Spirit Pipe Band, Over & Out, and as a touring musician with popular alternative rock band, 10,000 Maniacs. As a solo artist, she uses a loop pedal and an array of effects to create layered string soundscapes that become foundations for unique, ethereal arrangements of old American folk songs.
