Foghorn Duo and I Draw Slow at the Cobblestone, 27 Aug.

Thanks to Orla Keeshan of the Cobblestone, 77 North King Street, Smithfield, Dublin, for this special release:

Wed. 27th August. Doors 8.30 p.m. €12

The Foghorn Duo hail from the legendary Foghorn Stringband who have traveled far and wide bringing their tight instrumental work and line-up - fiddle, banjo, mandolin, bass, and guitar - to people from their home in Portland, Oregon, to Ireland where they have built a dedicated following. The duo is made up of Caleb & Sammy playing fiddle and guitar but still making as big a sound. The style of music is reminiscent of early bluegrass, but their powerful approach is whole-heartedly old-time, centered largely by the fiddle. Devoted to the interpretation and performance of American stringband music, their style encompasses early country music, the fiddle repertoire of the Southern Appalachians and the Midwest.

I Draw Slow, a 5-piece old-time Americana roots band, is made up of guitar, double bass, banjo, fiddle, mandolin, & 4-part vocals led by Louise Holden. They will be showcasing songs from their long-awaited debut album of original, enthralling, & outstandingly written songs.

This will be an outstanding gig so please do join us.
