Have you ever said to yourself one these things?
"I wish Baltimore had more classic country music happening."
"I wish I could go out dancing and learn how to two-step"
"I wish I could hang out at a bar, listen to country music, listen to local musicians, support a local brewery, and drink beer all at the same time!"
"Foghorn Stringband is my favorite!!!!
If you said yes to any of those, the Baltimore Honky-Tonk & Two-Stepping is the place you'll want to be on Thursday the 12th of March! Come on out and let's grow a fun classic country music scene here in Baltimore together. No prior experience needed!
2nd Annual Baltimore Old Time Music Festival and Baltimore Honky-Tonk have partnered up to bring this incredible band here to Baltimore for you to dance to and enjoy their incredible music.
“Face it people – there’s Foghorn…and then there’s everybody else.” -Stuart Mason – The Fiddlefreak.
The Foghorn Stringband is the present day gold standard for real-deal hard-hitting genuine old-time American string band music, with eight albums, thousands of shows, over 15 years of touring under their belts, and an entirely new generation of roots musicians following their lead. American roots music is a diverse and never-ending well of inspiration, and Foghorn Stringband continually and obsessively draws from old-time, bluegrass, classic country, and Cajun music traditions in an ongoing quest to present a broad span of American historical music with an unparalleled youthful energy, joy, and virtuosity. The Foghorn Stringband is comprised four master performers and historians: – Caleb Klauder (vocals, mandolin, fiddle) – From Orcas Island, Washington – Reeb Willms (vocals, guitar) – From rural Farmer, Washington – Nadine Landry (vocals, upright bass) – From the Gaspé Coast, Eastern Quebec – Stephen 'Sammy' Lind (vocals, fiddle, banjo) – From Minneapolis, Minnesota Each member of Foghorn Stringband exemplifies the best of the roots music traditions from their respective native cultures. Caleb Klauder’s wistful, keening vocals and rapid-fire mandolin picking are as influenced by Southern roots music as much as they are by his upbringing in the sea islands of coastal Washington State. Reeb Willms hails from the wind swept Eastern farmlands of Washington. Her musical family and rural upbringing are are on display with every note she sings and every heart she breaks. Nadine Landry’s roots lie in the rural backroads of Acadian Québec, and her high lonesome vocals have delighted audiences the world over. Her earth-shaking bass playing is the rumbling backbone of the Foghorn sound. Minnesotan Stephen ‘Sammy’ Lind, simply put, is the old-time fiddler of his generation whose tone and voice are as old as the same hills that gave birth to this music. Together, these four have forged a sound like no other.
In performance, Foghorn Stringband gather around one microphone, balancing their music on the fly, and playing with an intense, fiery abandon. To the band, this music is as relevant today as it was at it’s birth a century ago. They see themselves not only as cultural revivalists, but also as historians and fans of this music. Their performances and recordings are a joyful celebration of music from a bygone era that still holds the power to delight audiences worldwide. The band’s repertoire has expanded greatly in the past 15 years. They are as comfortable playing music at a neighborhood square dance as they are stirring a festival audience to a frenzy. Old time dance tunes rub shoulders with Cajun waltzes, vintage honky tonk country, and classic bluegrass….and it’s all rendered into a cohesive whole. Foghorn Stringband can often be found after a performance in a local pub or club continuing to play with equal energy and joy late into the night. They’re obsessed, and that obsession rings true with every note they play and every song they sing. You’ll see. There’s Foghorn…and there’s everybody else.
7:00pm Music starts!

$10 Cover (same great dance, different cover for this one)
