Bio
A mosaic is made from many tiles or tesserae. Each tessera can be a different color or size, but when they are put together, they form a complete picture.
Likewise, the Tessera String Band blends together a variety of musical influences into a mosaic of Americana. A set by this trio moves from rock covers to old-timey songs to original pieces, all linked by acoustic arrangements that feature solid harmonies and interesting interplay between guitars or guitar and mandolin.
The members of the band are as diverse as its music. Nicole Alifante has enjoyed a career in theater and cabaret and has been recognized for her talents as a singer/songwriter. Spencer Hayman's guitar and mandolin reflect his New Orleans roots and his interest in folk and bluegrass. Dan DeNigris is as comfortable singing Jimmy Martin as he is covering Van Morrison.
