The sound of the Foghorn String Band could have come barrelling through the grille-cloth of those big console radios of the 1950’s. This is brilliantly played Appalachian barn-dance music at a feverish, energetic pitch and pace. All the way from Portland Oregan, and singing and playing in the old style, standing round one microphone, the fiddle, banjo, mandolin, double bass, guitar and four-part harmonised vocals of the Foghorns deliver a sound reminiscent of early Bluegrass, though whole-heartedly Old-Time in its powerful approach. “A potent little jug of moonshine sure to kick-start tired feet and plant a grin on weary faces” the Oregonian. |

| Ira Bernstein Ira Bernstein is the finest living exponent of traditional American flatfoot and clog dancing. He lives in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina and performs with Appalachian singer and banjo virtuoso, Riley Baugus, who is the singing voice of Brendan Gleeson in the Oscar winning film, Cold Mountain. Riley began singing and playing music at a very early age, learning from other fine musicians in the Blue Ridge Mountains such as fiddlers Kirk Sutphin and Tommy Jarrell. He is also a fine maker of old-time, open-back banjos. |
