Featured Artist: The Idle Hands String Band
|
|
The Idle Hands String Band was formed almost 20 years ago and has been performing throughout the Eastern Sierra, from Ridgecrest to Reno, ever since. We've performed at the Millpond Festival in Bishop several times and have done shows at the Brewery Arts Center in Carson City and the Whoa Nellie Deli in Lee Vining and even on Vern's Stage at the Grass Valley Bluegrass festival.
Other shows include the Eastern Sierra Museum, the Laws Railroad Museum, Mammoth and June Mountain ski areas, the Inyo Council for the Arts Theater, Mountain Rambler Brewery, and the Bristlecone Pine Visitor Center grand openings. The wide variety of venues we've played has earned us the local nickname "The All Terrain String Band".
We specialize in American string band music from the mid 1800's to the present.Including Old Time, Bluegrass, Folk and progressive Folk. We have enough material in our song bag to tailor our act to many occasions. And we also perform in smaller ensembles to fit settings where a duo or trio may be more appropriate than a five piece string band.
