Gallus Brothers, Black Crown Stringband, DJ Tom--San Francisco Bluegrass & Old-Time Festival
Gallus Brothers
The Gallus Brothers, from Bellingham, Wash., play rollicking good country blues peppered with old rags, pre-war pop songs and dance tunes. Devin Champlin syncopates wildly on a reso-phonic guitar, while Lucas Hicks brings the music to a new level by playing percussion on a suitcase full of bones, bells and antique tomfoolery. They have played up and down the West Coast from festival stage to smoky bar, wooing crowds with their music, their humor, and their willingness to jump on a table, stand on each other, and juggle while playing a good old tune from way back that they love so well. myspace.com/gallusbrothers
Black Crown Stringband
Although their name may be dark, Black Crown Stringband (John McKelvy, Tim Hicks, Elise Engelberg, Matt Knoth, Rob Mellberg) is a colorful group of musical compatriots coming from the worlds of both bluegrass and old-time music and meeting somewhere in the middle. The group, originally named The Pilot Lighters, first appeared at the 2007 Berkeley Old-Time Convention String Band Contest, where they won first place. Their musical menu consists of fiddle driven old-time numbers, twisted up bluegrass standards and plain old straight ahead mountain music. Look for them wherever true Americana is allowed. myspace.com/soundslikejohn
DJ Tom LG Vintage 78 Disc Jockey
Tom LG has fashioned himself after the original radio DJs spinning vintage old-time and bluegrass 78s from the 1920s through the 50s. He creates an alternate old-time America where music echoes through the air like dusty dreams and revenant whispers.
