Saintseneca is an American folk rock band from Columbus, Ohio,[1] that was formed in 2007 by singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Zac Little.
[3][4] The band utilizes a wide range of acoustic instrumentation (balalaika, mandolin, dulcimer, bağlama, floor percussion) with more contemporary elements such as synthesizers and electric guitars.
[3] Throughout his college years in Columbus, Little accumulated and learned a number of instruments: banjo, mandolin, dulcimer and more, and upon meeting violinist Grace Chang, Saintseneca’s initial live line-up coalesced in the fall of 2008.
[8] This line-up continued to tour the Midwest and East Coast throughout 2010 and early 2011 while work began on their first full-length album, Last which was released by Mama Bird Recording Co. on August 16, 2011.
[3] Since releasing their debut album, the band has brought Steve Ciolek (The Sidekicks), Maryn Jones (All Dogs), Jon Meador, and Matt O’Conke (also of Tin Armor) into the fold.
In 2017, the band released three digital singles, "Book Of The Dead On Sale",[10] "Moon Barks At The Dog",[11] and "Wandering Star".
