SEEKING
Bass Guitar, Mandolin, Fiddle, Upright bass.ABOUT
We're a band (acoustic guitar/vox, banjo, mandolin, bass, percussion, and harmonies) rooted in old timey, folk, and bluegrass music, but played through a Southern Gothic lens with a punk ethos. This ain’t another revivalist act, it’s a reimagining, think Carter Family by way of Nick Cave delivering a dive bar sermon, or doing to old time what The Pogues did with Celtic music.
We found our people, couple through here actually, but now I reckon we're just hanging around to let y'all know that if ya want to sit in with us, we're down. We mostly do old traditional numbers (o brother soundtrack-y) and will be playing around The Hammer, so reach out if you want to join us for a couple ditties.
