DEEP FRIED PICKLE PROJECT Concert and Instrument-Building Workshop | Foundry Hall
Construct a DoodleBass! Build a Cigar Box Banjo! Make a Kazoo, or How about a Janglestick? The Deep Fried Pickle Project will show you how to build and play these zany, multicolored music-makers out of recycled materials. Start your own homemade band and lead the parade!
In 2002, a mysterious green iceberg was discovered by a band of unemployed pirates in Lake Michigan. Frozen inside were the Pickle Boys, cold solid in a chunk of sour brine. The Deep Fried Pickle Project were hoisted aboard, chiseled free and re-animated by the ship's crude pirate scientist chef using a combination of spirits and pickle juice. As the Deep Fried Pickle Project awoke from their icy slumber they started singing and have never stopped. Where the Pickles came from and where they are going remains a mystery
From outhouse to hen house to waffle house to public house both hither and yon, the Deep Fried Pickle Project have caused a rafter-shaking ruckus wherever they roll, dreaming a hobo's knapsack of stories and songs along the way.
These Pickle fellers have wobbled their magical musical gypsy medicine wagon from one end of this here country to t'other, with stops including Lollapalooza, Wakarusa, and Telluride along the way.
What fanciful fuel powers this bubbling band of minstrels you say? Why, it is Pickle Power- the power to fabricate mutant musical instruments and sea shanties. The power to shatter a bar-full of whisky glasses with sonic ferocity one night then serenade a giggling group of itty bitty kids the next morning.
Armed with a Frankenstonian array of homemade monster instruments, their musical recipe is flavored with Jug Band, Hokum and Honkeytonk spices. You'll relish the Pickles!
The Deep Fried Pickle Project is: Alan Selvidge (Guitar, Canjo, Cigar Box Uke,Voice, kazoo, Suitcase Bass, & Stumpf Fiddle), and Daniel Boone Daniel (Washtub Bass, Harmonica, Kazoo, Saw, and other Homemade-A-Phones). Both are also educators specializing in Art and Music.
The Deep Fried Pickle Project's songs echo back and forth from the 1920s to the 2091s. A music at once playful and irreverent- Hokum and Honky Tonk Space Sushi all rolled up into one. From the Great Depression to the Great Recession, the Pickles run the gamut of old timey styles, even grabbing an occasional 80s pop tune and turning it into a flap happy, chicken scratchy 78 RPM tune.
The Pickles have collaborated and "jammed" with the Del McCoury Band, Umphrey's McGee, Chris Thile, Everyone Orchestra, ALO, the Gourds and many more talented artists.
From festivals to fairgrounds, from play-shops to workshops, from PBS to the Bravo Network the Deep Fried Pickle Project dares you to TAKE A BITE. You're gonna love it! (www.pickleproject.com)
