Foghorn Stringband @ RWMF 2007

The Oregon-based Foghorn Stringband is characterized by "tight instrumental work - fiddle, banjo, mandolin, bass and guitar - reminiscent of early bluegrass, but their powerful approach is whole-heartedly old-time, centered largely by the fiddle." Caught in action at the 2007 Rainforest World Music Festival, Sarawak. http://www.myspace.com/foghornstringband

Hey thanks for the charming video of Sammy & Caleb doing their thang in Frisco! :-)

[ljped]

Really like this. Good camerawork!

[Starmandala]

Thanks, Jack. Working with one hand-held camera from a single position jammed up against the stage apron doesn't allow for any distractions!

In my humble opinion -- this was the greatest modern oldtime stringband that combined Appalachian music with the tightness and drive of Bluegrass.

I love the way these guys just kinda gather around the mic, like it's a front porch jam session! Great music!
