Quickdraw String Band is a catchy and talented local acoustic string group. The three-member Americana band keeps its style interesting by meshing blues, ragtime and folk with other acoustic varieties, and it has begun doing contemporary covers.

Playing together for four and a half years, the band is David Maguire on mandolin and dobro, Matt Novak on guitar and harmonica and Robert Ray on upright bass, with everyone pitching in on vocals. Fiddler Kat Bula recently quit the band, leaving the group without a fiddler. The band is sad to see Bula go and she will be missed, Novak said, and the band will begin looking for another talented fiddler.

The band released its only album, “Blasting Caps,” in 2005 and is planning on getting a new album in the works.
