traditional string band music from West Virginia

FREE

December 12, 2007

12 noon - 1pm

Coolidge Auditorium, Jefferson Building, Library of Congress


The West Virginia stringband, Gandydancer, performs spirited old-time mountain music on a variety of stringed instruments. Five musicians from various counties in West Virginia, play driving fiddle tunes, banjo pieces, and sing ballads, folksongs and old-time spirituals in four part harmony. The band takes its name from nineteenth century railroad workers, the era from which much of their material emanates. Ron Mullennex, Dave Bing, Mark Payne, Jim Martin and Gerry Milnes represent lifetimes of experience collecting and performing traditional music. They pride themselves in bringing to life unusual, and sometimes rare, old tunes and songs at their performances.
