Folk Music

Last night we went to the 32nd Ann Arbor Folk Festival. It had a pretty amazing lineup of up and coming artists from around the country. If you like country, folk, or blue grass we thought we would share some of our new favorites. The group that stole the show was the Carolina Chocolate Drops. They are a self described African-American String band that includes everything from the banjo to a jug. They played (and danced) to one of our favorites, The Salty Dog Rag. But they stole the night when they closed their set with a folk version of Hit Em Up Style. You can can't down load it on iTunes yet but you can hear it here on YouTube. The other part of the night that was pretty great was when Old Crow Medicine show played. One of the players from Carolina Chocolate Drops came out and played the bones with them and I think everyone was in the rafters with excitment. There were many more good artists but those two should keep you occupied for a while. Enjoy!
