Saints & Strings

Saints & Strings fuse blazing banjo, fiery fiddle, deep 808 bass, and gospel harmonies into a foot-stompin’, faith-filled sound. Their debut, Amens & 808s, brings revival tent joy to the festival stage.

Caleb “Strings” Harper

Caleb is the firebrand frontman of Saints & Strings. With a gritty Southern drawl and banjo licks sharp enough to cut through a festival crowd, he brings revival energy to every stage. Raised on Appalachian bluegrass but shaped by gospel tent meetings, Caleb carries the spirit of a preacher and the swagger of a showman. When he stomps his boot and shouts the first “Amen,” the crowd knows it’s about to get loud.

The heart of the band beats through Lydia’s fiddle. Her bow dances between soul-stirring laments and fiery solos, often stealing the spotlight in Amens & 808s. Lydia grew up in a church choir but found her voice in folk festivals, where she learned to weave harmony with fire. On stage, she balances Caleb’s grit with grace, her harmonies lifting every chorus skyward.

Boots is the anchor and the thunder of Saints & Strings. A mountain of a man with a bigger laugh than his upright bass, he slaps grooves that rattle ribs and leads the rowdy gang vocals that fuel tracks like Saints in the Stomp. He’s the one who gets the crowd clapping in rhythm, stomping loud, and shouting hallelujahs till the tent poles shake.

Micah is the secret sauce — the bridge between bluegrass tradition and trap swagger. Once a hip-hop producer, he brought his deep 808s and hi-hat rolls into the gospel fold, reshaping the Saints & Strings sound into something truly new. His drops hit like lightning strikes, turning revival hymns into festival anthems. When the bass shakes the ground, you know Micah’s at the controls.
