"At first, it's easy to mistake Handful of Luvin' for just another set of passé ex-college jam band rockers in the Dave Matthew's Band tradition, but a second look reveals a quirkier and more rewarding aesthetic. A rock quartet featuring a rocking classically trained violinist, Handful refers to their music as "fiddle driven roots rock," and their cheerful blend of folk-rock, reggae and world rhythms, plus secondhand baroque and Celtic influences with catchy pop hooks, strongly recalls the vintage sound of Actual Tigers, the madness of Flogging Molly, and the moodier, more experimental side of Wilco. Handful of Luvin’ began in Bellingham, WA, in 2002, when college students Andrew Joslyn and David John bonded while studying. Moving to Seattle in 2005, David John(vocals and guitar) and Andrew Joslyn (violin/viola) fleshed out the Handful with bass guitarist Patrick Files, and drummer Michael Knight. Working with Carol Tingstad (Tingstad & Rumbel, David Lanz, Gypsy Soul), has shared the stage with a number of iconic groups such as: Phish, The Proclaimers, Carbon Leaf, Young Dubliners, Brett Dennen, and more."
