Focal Point Friends of Old-Time Music present The Stones River Reelers for the very first time at Focal Point.
The Stones River Reelers are a P-E-D-I-G-R-E-E-D old-time band from down in Sunny Tennessee. Hitch up the Mules. They’ll provide that century-old music without any of the ailments. Fifteen strings, twenty reeds, and good cleanish humor is all but G-U-A-R-A-N-T-E-E-D. Michael Klug busts on the gum-stump fiddle so well it takes two Sundays to make amends. Aaron Stephens is a banjo acrobatist who belts out the good old songs from our dear Friend and Neighbor, Uncle Dave Macon. Andrew Larson has more bass runs in his flattop box than springtime at a mill dam. And rounding out the sound in true Middle Tennessee fashion, Seth Shumate wields the mouth organ masterfully while avoiding eye contact behind his homemade harp horn.
