King Ludd is an acoustic trio hailing from Seattle and Bellingham, WA. King Ludd is Scott Miles, Kat Bula, and Aaron Harmonson. Their combined experience as gigging musicians spans several decades. Their musical talent spans numerous instruments and countless styles. Scott is the trio’s primary songwriter, singer and source of melodic infection. He backs each song up with his instrument-busting attack on clawhammer banjo, acoustic guitar, Irish bouzouki or mandolin. Kat infuses the trio with the fire of her fiddle, classically trained with a passion for bluegrass and folk. Kat will also break out the high lonesome tenor harmonies. Aaron's upright bass playing is the heart of the band, holding it all together and driving each song forward with a soulful sensibility.
