Description

The HVBA is proud to present Danny Paisley and the Southern Grass with The Sleepy Hollow String Band to Open

Be sure not to miss this opportunity to hear this great band play powerful, unadorned, and intense traditional bluegrass right here in the Mid-Hudson area. There is no hybrid or genre-bending music here. It is music borne of the vibrant old time southern fiddle bands, as well as the lonesome moans of the backwoods mountain blues. The instruments blaze with energy while the songs reveal a paradoxical, desperate sadness anchoring the music squarely in the classic bluegrass tradition. Danny Paisley and the Southern Grass combine those forces with a drive and energy that takes over your senses. It is music you not only hear, but feel in your gut.

The Sleepy Hollow String Band, from Westchester County, NY, is an acoustic bluegrass band covering a wide range of American  traditional "roots" music. Their influences range from Flatt and Scruggs and Ricky Skaggs to Johnny Cash, George Jones, Leadbelly and Woody Guthrie. Connie McCardle is the lead singer and guitarist, Bob Bernstein is on mandolin, Ben Freed is the banjo player and Rick Brodsky is on upright bass. The Sleepy Hollow String Band performed at Bluegrass Between the Bridges in 2008 and was appreciated for their high energy and talented performance.
