The Ebony Hillbillies started the black string band renaissance. Since 1986, led by master fiddler, Rique Prince and Norris Bennet on Banjo and Dulcimer, the Hillbillies have delighted audiences with old-time fiddle tunes, blues, and country inflected originals. The bands vocalist, Norris Bennet, plays Banjo and dulcimer. The trio can often been heard playing on the streets of New York City.
