Lonesome Ace String Band with special guests The Doggone Brothers

The Foothills Bluegrass Music Society Presents the Lonesome Ace String Band
www.foothillsbluegrass.com

The Lonesome Ace Stringband brings grit, skill and abandon to old-time, Appalachian folk songs and fiddle/banjo tunes. These are songs and tunes for life and all of its occasions: festivals, dances, wars, parties and funerals. The music comes from a tradition that has inspired and brought together generations of people. Its themes - love, loss, hard work and hardship, faith, and everyday life - speak to everyone. The members are Chris Coole on banjo, John Showman on fiddle and Max Heineman on bass. Together they bring a deep respect for the roots of the music, a keen sense of innovation to the performance and material, and a passion for the sound that transcends both. This is old-time music for today's old soul.

Special Guests The Doggone Brothers

This Kootenay duo is a recent side-project of Clayton Parsons (The Good Ol Goats) and Michael Hepher (Redgirl, As The Crow Flies). Both seasoned musicians in the area, Clay and Mike crossed paths at a mutual friends birthday party and ended up jamming the night away. That night of jamming turned into a regular thing that theyve named The Doggone Brothers. The music is distinctly grassy, with fishing, hunting and camping themes throughout their set of original and hillbilly cover tunes. Clay jumps back and forth between guitar and dobro while Mike picks the mandolin and guitar. They are sure to entertain as they keep it fun and loose while duelling back and forth with their respective axes. Yer certain ter git some toes a tappin when The Doggone Brothers take ter the stage.
