Water Tower Bucket Boys in Ulster, 3-12 Sept. 2010

Thanks to the GPromo PR agency for the news that the Water Tower Bucket Boys (USA) neo-old-time string band will be playing a score of dates in Britain and Ireland, beginning on 9 August 2010 and culminating in appearances at the 19th Appalachian & Bluegrass Music Festival at Omagh, Co. Tyrone (3-5 Sept.) and the Open House Festival in Belfast (9-12 Sept.).

The Water Tower Bucket Boys are from the fertile Portland, Oregon, music scene, like the Foghorn Stringband, who have become established favourites with audiences in Ireland. The WTBB consist of Cory Goldman (banjo, guitar, vocals), Josh Rabie (fiddle, guitar, banjo, vocals), and Kenny Feinstein (guitar, mandolin, vocals), with Walter Spencer (bass, vocals) joining them whenever possible. Their third CD, Sole kitchen, was released this year. Full details of the schedule, together with music samples and other info, can be found on their MySpace page.
