THE BUTCHERS + THE URBAN PIONEERS

Friday, Feb. 26

Blue Moon Saloon

Doors: 9 p.m.

Mix one part Texas fiddle and one part Tennessee banjo, add doghouse bass and a splash of guitar and you have one heck of a powerful punch called The Urban Pioneers. This string band hammers out a variety of original songs that encompass old time hillbilly music, western swing, rockabilly, and even a few gypsy type songs for good measure. They spend about 75% of the year on tour all over the world delivering their brand of high energy hillbilly folk music. The Butchers are a five piece string band that hails from the dirty south...south Louisiana that is. They are Metalheads turned Folkies, like every other cool guy string band these days.
