- From
- Ed Commons
Hailing from all around Kentucky, the 23 String Band pays homage to the deep roots of American traditional music, while pushing forward with genre bending, hard-driving originals and distinctive arrangements. Their youthful brand of “original hillbilly music” weaves in and out of old-time, bluegrass, acoustic roots, and anything else that strikes their fancy — it’s not uncommon to hear a Beastie Boys cover by these boys. It’s a contagious conglomeration that’s entertaining, energetic, and will get you on your feet and dancing every time!
WHAT FOLKS ARE SAYING:
Silas House, bestselling author: “The 23 String Band is the best band to come out of Eastern Kentucky in a long while. Their shows are electrifying, their songwriting is top-notch, and their vocals are as tight as the cork in a jug of moonshine. They’re my favorite band from the region.”
Gabrielle Gray, Executive Director, International Bluegrass Music Museum:
“The 23 String Band was one of the most exciting and original bands to play ROMP 2010. We
were pleased but totally unsurprised when they surfaced as one of the most-requested bands to return for ROMP 2011.”
