Perry Shafran with Sligo Creek Stompers (Sunday Contra)

A last minute swap, and we get more Stompers! Sarah Foard on fiddle, Jess Eliot Myhre on clarinet, washboard and vocals, Chris Ousley on banjo, guitar and others, Adrian "Clamp" Erlinger on bass.

The SLIGO CREEK STOMPERS play a raucous but refined blend of traditional roots music: Appalachian & Midwestern old time and bluegrass, New Orleans-style traditional jazz, haunted Irish fiddle tunes, honky tonk & classic country, Texas & gypsy swing. Inspired by scratchy 78 rpm records, contra dancing and a good bottle of whiskey, the Stompers are keeping the flame of American stringband music alive in the Washington, DC area.

Homegrown fun, dance to this lively band, enjoy their eclectic mix of oh so danceable jazz, Americana, and just plain good! Perry Shafran calls!
