WEDNESDAY NIGHT KICKOFF SQUARE DANCE!
September 10, 2008 8pm
Make-Out Room
3225 22nd St at Mission, San Francisco
The Water Tower String Band: Cory Goldman, on the banjo, has studied the clawhammer style deeply. On the bass fiddle Ben Wheelhoss pumps out each note with pristine force. Josh Rabie lights up the fiddle with an electricity that is ever-pulsing, and Kenny Feinstein who drives the guitar and mandolin as effortlessly as air. Inspired by the current wave of Northwest old time bands like the Tallboys and Foghorn Stringband, and drawing from sources from the Reverend Jesus Tommy Jarrell to Bill Monroe, they create piledrivin’, scuttlebuttin’, string breakin’, hair-tearing, music that is sure to get the crowd dancing

In
the true spirit of Vaudeville, The
Gallus Brothers (Lucas Hicks and
Devin Champlin) play half of each others instruments and then juggle
while singing and playing. You won't believe your eyes!

A
hot acoustic fiddle band from Portland OR pumping out music that makes
