David Carr's Fabulous Contraption

At times moody and introspective, at others unveiling a heaviness not usually encountered in acoustic music, the Fabulous Contraption explore the forces of good and bad in the world of folk music.

Formed by David Carr in October 2009 the Fabulous Contraption combine folk music from across Europe with bluegrass and metal to create a unique sound. You’ll hear intricate guitar work, marry-your-sister banjo, soaring violin melodies, and a sensitive but hard-grooving rhythm section. Like drifting calmly down a river only to find yourself in the midst of a crocodile infestation, the music moves between extremes: from trancelike calm to dancing-on-the-tables lunacy to metal intensity.
