Windy Hill plus Blackberry Bushes String Band
Tue. July 3 at 7:30pm $10 adv./$13 door seated <21 w/parent Windy Hill: It's immediately evident at a Windy Hill show that the band is excited about bluegrass music and have big fun picking and singing. They're becoming increasingly well-known and are winning awards for their entertaining performances. Windy Hill began years ago as an idea in a wood shop class, where two 17-year-old friends sat around their workstation sanding their projects and talking about live music. They discovered a mutual love for the traditional sounds of Bill Monroe, Carter Stanley, and Jimmy Martin. The Blackberry Bushes Stringband were a big hit at the Strawberry Music Festival, selling a boatload of CDs. They hail from the rain-drenched forests of Olympia, Washington. They take a bluegrass instrumentation, draw from the deep roots of American folk music and add influences from Bluegrass, Appalachian old-time, and Indie Rock, to jazz, pop and Alt. Country. "Their blend of traditional Bluegrass and Folk elements with more contemporary sounds has an appeal not seen since Nickel Creek or The Be Good Tanyas." Joseph Kyle; The Big Takeover.
