Since its formation in 2013 with a mission to resurrect the music of Old and In the Way, Beg, Steal or Borrow has appeared at festivals and venues throughout the northeastern United States and features an ever-growing repertoire of original music and classic covers.  Known for their vocal harmony and high-energy instrumental arrangements, Beg, Steal or Borrow has won bluegrass festival band competitions at Podunk, Grey Fox, and Thomas Point Beach, hence being dubbed a “Triple Crown Bluegrass Band” by Bluegrass Today.  Based in Vermont, the quintet released its celebrated debut album of original music, Old Mountain Time, in 2019 and full-length follow up album One Eye for the Sun in the summer of 2024. Beg, Steal or Borrow is Jeremy Sicely on guitar/vocals, Luke Auriemmo on banjo/vocals, Roland Clark on fiddle/vocals, Fran Forim on upright bass/vocals and Geoff Goodhue on mandolin/vocals.

" Beg, Steal or Borrow have managed to absorb their essential influences — Appalachian, folk and country sounds in particular — and refashion them in a way that’s so accessible and infectious that the music’s all but irresistible." Lee Zimmerman  - Bluegrass Today

​

   "The songs that found their way onto the new record are more than mere imitation — they're the genuine article."      Dan Bolles - Seven Days Review

​

"The first CD released by bluegrassers Beg, Steal or Borrow, “Old Mountain Time,” could contend for best bluegrass album of 2019, it’s that good."      Art Edelstein - Times Argus | Rutland Herald Review
