Hotpoint String Band, something else again
Hotpoint String Band is one of a small handful of bands in the country that bring string band music to a new level. They have a solid base in traditional old-time music and do wonderful things with their old time sets. They also draw on a wide variety of styles of music and instrumentation to really "push" the music. Tasteful electric piano keeps great rhythm and the percussion is really awesome! The are primarily a contra dance band but their music is fantastic for simply listening to. If you like this band, check out The Groovemongers" from New York. They too take string band arranging and playing to a new level.
