The Hey-Ho Trio
The Hey-Ho Trio is half of Portlands well-regarding swing band, the Midnight Serenaders. The band formed in 2005, putting together a sound reminiscent of the small swing combos popular during the 20s and 30s, adding a Hawaiian flavor with the inclusion of ukulele and Hawaiian Steel guitar. Led by crooner/rhythm guitarist Doug Sammons, the Trios repertoire consists of specially chosen gems from the past, as well as vintage sounding original songs.
Doug Sammons began his journey into American folk and roots music as a member of the renowned New York City jug band, the Metropolecats. Soon after relocating to the West Coast in 1991, he helped form one of Oregons most respected bluegrass groups, Sam Hill. As guitar player, lead and harmony vocalist, and emcee, Doug worked with the group through the release of three CDs as the band gained considerable national attention.
Dee Settlemier, vocalist extraordinaire, also plays guitar, mandolin, banjo, as well as ukulele, has been writing songs and singing for as long as she can remember. She was a founding member of the acoustic folk-rock group Mad Hattie, playing with many stellar Portland musicians. More recently there's been quite the buzz around town about Dee's other project, the Libertine Belles, a sensational all-female vocal group. People say that Dees house is basically one huge vintage clothing closet.
Doc Stein, Hawaiian Steel Guitar, grew up on the east coast playing country and western swing, ragtime and blues on guitar, banjo and dobro. In 1985 he moved to the Portland area where he played in various bands including Retta and the Smart Fellas, Cactus Set-Up with Rebecca Kilgore and Fritz Richmonds Barbeque Orchestra. He has also toured with various bands while sailing the southern Caribbean, and was a part of the Voice of Asia Festival in Kazakhstan, representing the USA in a swing trio. He has played with Jim Kweskin, Geoff and Maria Muldaur, John Sebastian, David Grisman and Dan Hicks in San Francisco.
