Homegrown String Band
Toe-tapping music will fill the auditorium of the Newburgh Free library with the appearance of the Homegrown String Band on Sun., Nov. 6 at 3 p.m. One of America’s premier performers of family style original & neo-traditional acoustic American roots music, The Homegrown String Band is a high energy 21st century incarnation of the traditional family band. This quartet of acoustic musicians from Rocky Point, NY, utilizes unique instrumentation, percussive flatfoot dancing, and many varied musical influences to take their audiences on a rollicking ride through the sounds of American music.
Their repertoire consists of traditional and original music inspired by the rural string bands that recorded during the 1920s and ‘30s, as well all the great American roots music that followed. The family that plays together has been performing at bluegrass, blues, and folk festivals, theaters, and libraries from Maine to Missouri since 1997. Admission is free, with refreshments courtesy of the Friends of the Newburgh Free Library.
