The Iron Leg Boys

 

The Iron Leg Boys, from eastern and central West Virginia, play old-style string band music and fiddle tunes unique to their home state. The November 2011 release of their long-awaited first recording has helped expose the band and their unique repertoire to a wider audience. http://questionablerecords.bandcamp.com/album/the-iron-leg-boys

 

 

 

 

The Driftwood Singers are prolific writers immersed in the folk tradition building on songs and stories that at their heart are observations of the human condition in all it’s gruesome variations and beautiful splendor. http://thedriftwoodsingers.com/

Modal Tease String Band

 

Modal Tease has won awards at the Topanga Banjo and Fiddle Competition and the GoletaOld-Time Fiddlers Convention. In December 2011, they released their first CD, Aggravatin’ Beauty. http://modaltease.wordpress.com/
