THE MOSTLY STRINGBAND - Updated August 7, 2008
THE MOSTLY STRINGBAND is a 5-member band that formed out of musicians
who
regularly attended a weekly acoustic jam over a period of almost 2 years. We
play many musical genres:
swing, old-time, bluegrass, standards, Tin Pan Alley, Celtic, contemporary, and more.
Our band features Hal Oleari, Sherri Whitham, John Tiedeman, Rachel Anderson, and David Menefee performing on guitars, mandolin,
resonator guitar, fiddles, banjos, standup bass, accordion, and vocals! Our
name originates from our being mostly a string band, with the addition of the
accordion, which is not usually found in a string band.
If you are interested in attending a future musical performance or having us perform at your
event, please call Rachel at 628-4579 or
email
Rachel or call Hal or Sherri at 623-1676. We have weekly practices
where you can hear us play. If you would like to get on an email list to be
notified of upcoming gigs, email
Rachel.
We now have band band
t-shirts for sale! They are in 3 colors: beige, sage (light) green, and red in medium, large, X-large, and XX-large. We bring
t-shirts to gigs to sell. If you are interested in one, let us know. They are $15 each.
