The two play a highly unique blend of what they call Old Time Mountain Gypsy World Folk Blues Music on accordion, acoustic guitar, banjo, harmonica and odd pieces of percussion, including their self-made Freedom Boot. Their foot-stompin' sound features unconventional arrangements weaved together by tight vocal harmonies sung with raw intensity. Cory plays fingerstyle and flatpicking guitar, clawhammer, plectrum, and three-finger banjo, and blues harmonica. Michael plays the accordion, hammering out a deep, full bass and accompaniment with his left hand, and authentic melodic lines with his right. Banging out the percussion with their feet using a "stompbox" and a set of "ghungroo (Indian ankle bells), their performances are marked by a rich, distinct sound and unending energy. The Groanbox Boys have toured extensively throughout the UK and the east coast of the USA. They have released two CDs: Smokestack Trilogy in 2006, and Fences Come Down in 2007. Dig underneath the fingernail of modern popular music and you get to the quick. There - in the raw, living, tissue - is where you'll find the Groanbox Boys. It's not a show. It's life. - Ben Chu, The Independent, April 26, 2007 Tickets £7.50 / 5.50 from Bom-Bane's |
