Friday, January 16, 7-9PM

“The Apostles of Hillbilly Boogie” – Washington Post

The High & Wides play string band music from an alternate timeline, one where Bill Monroe’s “Rocky Road Blues” made him an international superstar and the rock’n’roll revolution was led by fiddlers and banjo players. With roots in urban Baltimore and the rural Delmarva peninsula, they draw on bluegrass backgrounds and weave in influences from new wave to old time to make music that defies boundaries while evoking the era when country, bluegrass, western swing, and early rock’n’roll mingled freely.

Held down tightly by drummer Justin Kruger–an energetic and charismatic performer whose style mirrors his outside the box personality and unique approach to the instrument, along with bassist Nick Welker–a solid and stoic figure who picks melodic lines and chordal voicings that makes the trio sound full and lush.  All three members sing, adding harmonies reminiscent of southern California in the 70’s. Together they push the limits of what a trio can do and provide an immersive, feel-good vibe that hits the audience’s heart as hard as it does the ears.

About Driftwood
The Upstate New York folk-rock group Driftwood—founded by Joe Kollar and Dan Forsyth, and now including Claire Byrne, Joey Arcuri, and Sam Fishman—continues to evolve its shapeshifting folk approach.

A key strength is the breadth of talent, with Claire, Joe, and Dan all contributing as songwriters and vocalists. This collaborative push-pull is "at the heart of what we do," says Dan Forsyth, leading to a self-produced effort focused on capturing their distinctive live energy. The band relies on a devoted, crowd-funded community of "supporters" and "friends" who see that Driftwood is about more than music. As Joe Kollar summarizes, “Driftwood is basically a beautiful friendship that happens to play music together.”

History, community, folk tales, ballads, live performance, and environmental instability all manifest in the sounds, feelings, and sensations that permeate their Crankies. Music will be performed by Marian McLaughlin, a multi-instrumental songwriter, poet, visual artist, and educator and Georgia Beatty, a musician and folk artist who performs on cello, fiddle, hardanger fiddle and voice.
