Old-timey Tulsa music from the acoustic instruments of the Klondike5 String Band. These fine young folks seem to have been born a couple decades too late as they whip out the old sounds from yesteryear on their crazy banjos and fiddles. Matt Skelton heads the band up with his rhythm guitar and his gritty low-down lead vocals while his bride Carmen Skelton saws the double-stops on her fiddle. Eric “BG†Fransen rakes his fingers all over the banjo strings while Mike Hopper keeps the flow flowing on lead acoustic guitar. Chris Foster thumps out the bass lines and, on occasion, Chris Becker plays his mandolin off to the left. If you’re around go on down and see them do the best they can to give you a bit of "Flour Hour" type reminiscence. They dig deep into the the dark coners of the traditional music songbook and resurrect numbers that are hundreds of years old, song that have just always been there. Plus original tunes that are guaranteed to get your feet a stomping. Like Carmen's song about her drinking and lollygagging and her man leaving her just like he said he would, or Matt's song about being reborn as a hillbilly (reintarnation). Eric's clawhammer banjo melodies that sound like they flow fresh from the Big Piney river in the Ozark Mountains (most of them do)!
