Tangled Up in Blue, or TUIB, is an all-gender undergraduate singing group at Yale University that performs American folk, bluegrass, and country music.[1] Founded in 1987,[2] TUIB is the only multi-instrumental singing group at Yale: the group's arrangements are built around guitar, banjo, mandolin, and fiddle parts.

TUIB performs frequently on campus and tours every March during Yale's spring break, most recently in Ireland.[3] The group also occasionally performs off-campus throughout the academic year, including at the Yale School of the Environment's annual Harvest Festival.[4]

History

[edit]

Tangled Up in Blue was founded in 1987 by then-sophomore Nerissa Nields, who recruited nine students to form the group during the fall of 1987.[2] Once established on campus, TUIB expanded to a year-to-year average of sixteen members selected by audition. TUIB's early repertoire consisted largely of folk revival classics by artists like Peter, Paul and Mary, Paul Simon, and John Prine, but a number of blues, bluegrass, and country songs have since been added.[5]
