Old Time trio Tall Poppy String Band is playing the Port Townsend Friends Meeting on Friday, November 3! Come on out if you like stirring instrumentals, charming stage banter, and rowdy bluegrass songs. Or if you like trans folk and Australasians. …
Tall Poppy String Band is a brand new Old Time trio featuring fiddler George Jackson, guitarist Mark Harris, and banjoist Cameron DeWhitt. DeWhitt is a clawhammer banjoist based in Portland, Oregon. They are the innovator behind pitchfork banjo, a three-finger clawhammer technique that allows for a degree of melodic and rhythmic freedom that is rarely seen in old-time banjo playing.
