Foghorn Stringband is an old-time string band from Portland, Oregon, United States. They are considered one of the finest old-time string bands on the West Coast.[1] They are noted for "intense dedication to the sources" of the old time tradition.[2] Their music is billed as "a blend of high-spirited Appalachian dance music tying in sounds of traditional mountain fiddle tunes."[3] Their interpretation of old time is played with the energy and edginess of punk rock,[4][5] while at the same time showing a tremendous degree of technical finesse.[6]
The group has performed at festivals all over the world, including at the Shetland Folk Festival in Shetland, UK,[7] the Orkney Folk Festival in Orkney, UK,[8] and in Ireland, Denmark, Finland[9] and Malaysia.[10] U.S. appearances include the Berkeley Old Time Music Convention,[11] the Alaska Folk Festival,[5] and the Sacajawea Bluegrass Festival.[12]
Members of the group also perform as the Foghorn Duo (mandolin and fiddle)[13] and the Foghorn Trio (mandolin, fiddle, and Nadine Landry on guitar).[14] Foghorn Stringband also performs with Dirk Powell as the Dirk Powell Band.[citation needed]
