Snakehead Run  9/26

Papa Denny Buck, Bro Mark Casale, and Jim "The Gutbucketeer" Bunch bring their driving, old-style acoustic blues and jug band music to the stage. They play an infectious, driving variety of old-time acoustic blues that often has audiences on their feet whooping and dancing. Guitarist and lead vocalist Denny is a 30-plus-year veteran of bars, coffeehouses and festivals in his native Ohio, New York City, and in DC since the mid-80s. He sings and plays on his steel Dobro with all the intensity and enthusiasm of his idols Bukka White, Blind Boy Fuller, Robert Wilkins, and various Johnsons. Multi-instrumentalist Mark settles here on mandolin in the style of blues virtuosos Yank Rachell and Charlie McCoy, and adds some funky fiddling. He also contributes the back-up vocals and the composition of a couple fiddle tunes for the group. His talents have led the duo to explore the string and jug band side of the blues spectrum. Jim "The Gutbucketeer" Bunch on washtub bass and jug has accumulated a lot of experience on the 'tub in his many years, also playing with The All New Genetically Altered Jug Band.
