Untangled Strings Concerts
March 27 (Thursday) at 8 PM
The UUFCCs Untangled Strings concert series will present two great bands in one
evening--the WIYOS and the Hunger Mountain Boys--with proceeds to benefit
music programming at the UUFCC.
THE
WIYOS play and compose Old-Timey American music inspired by the idioms of the
1920s and '30s. Their music comes from a time before commercial formatting
separated blues from country, ragtime from gospel, and swing from hillbilly.
With an instrumentation of washboard/harmonica/kazoo,
resonator guitar/banjo, upright bass and three harmony vocals, THE WIYOS' live
performance transports audiences back to an era before TV and mass-media were
the main sources of entertainment.
The Hunger Mountain Boys' songwriting and music
has won them national recognition and taken them around the world. Their
spirited performances of traditional American music has put them on stages
with artists from Taj Mahal to Doc Watson and Ralph Stanley to Kathy Mattea.
Their sound is so authentic, if you added a few pops and clicks you'd swear you
were listening to an old 78 from the 1930s.
Tickets for the WIYOS and the Hunger Mountain Boys
are available from Fred Volz, at the UUFCC office, or from Webster's Bookstore
Cafe in State College.
Tickets are $20 each.
