FolkWorks Concert with SAUSAGE GRINDER
Sausage Grinder, Los Angeles' all-natural hillbilly and country blues band, combines the traditional sounds of fiddle and banjo breakdowns with the low-down sound of country blues, topped off with a touch of ragtime and hillbilly jazz. The versatile acoustic ensemble features fiddle, banjo, guitar, mandolin, washboard, and a few odds and ends.
Sausage Grinder was formed in 2008 out of a desire to play this classic music "right" without being slavish imitators or academic lecturers. As old-time and blues fiddler Adam Tanner puts it, Sausage Grinder's "reverence to the old 78s hasn't restrained them from exploring even grimier nooks and crannies unrestrained and impolite the Grinder's performances are visceral and joyous a blast from the past with a nod to the immediacy of the future!" Or as LA Weekly says succinctly, the band's performance feels "reminiscent of an old Mickey Mouse cartoon."
You can hear their music on Delicious Moments, which features fiddle tunes, hot mandolin ragtime and songs from Memphis Minnie, the Lone Star Cowboys, Little Brother Montgomery, Sleepy John Estes, Banjo Ikey Robinson and more. Delicious Moments is available at CD Baby.
