The members of Ten Strings and a Goatskin had already been making music together for eight years before they made it their livelihood. Jesse Périard is the band’s guitar player. He explains, “We started off as a band in high school. Rowen and Caleb (Gallant), my band mates are brothers and they grew up with music on both sides of their family. They’ve been playing their instruments since they were about six years old, as have I. I met them when we went to high school together.”
He adds, “I’d never played traditional music before so the boys kind of taught me the basics that I’d need. We started playing here and there before things took off. We got a name, we got our own band account, we got some tours going with some agencies and now we’re doing this as a full time job.”
