Yard Sauce is a Maine-based, acoustic string trio featuring Chris Moore (mandolins and vocals), Jeff Christmas (guitar and vocals) and Callie Brennan (fiddle and vocals). Their dynamic live performances draw from the group’s broad range of musical tastes, diverse regional traditional music influences, and a deep catalog of original songs. Old-time, bluegrass, country and folk traditions are all part of the mix in every live set. The trio trades off on lead vocal and harmony duties, delivering arrangements of traditional and original tunes with their distinctive, down-to-earth authenticity combined with virtuosic instrumental skills.
Their individual credentials are eclectic and impressive. Chris Moore recently released his latest solo recording, “Changing Union” (2025), produced by folk icon Tim O’Brien. Jeff Christmas holds a Masters of Music from the Boston Conservatory and specializes in vocal instruction with experience in a wide variety of genres. Callie Brennan holds a position with the Portland Symphony Orchestra and the Portland String Quartet, but with Yard Sauce she turns that violin into a fiddle! Together they are ready to entertain!
