The Water Tower String Band lineup is: Cory Goldman on the banjo, he claws at his five-string like Freddy Krueger at your face. Peter Daggatt who holds the band together with his driving guitar chops and devilish good looks. Ben Wheelhoss who locks it down on the bass fiddle. Josh Rabie is back with us now, playing the fiddle like a drunk gizzley bear, doubled by Kenny Feinstein who picks the mandolin as effortlessly as air.
The Water Tower String Band met at the local Water Tower, a high-school hangout of ill repute. These young-uns brought together by their love of string band music play classic old-time and bluegrass tunes with a relentless youthful exuberance. Whether busking on a street corner, playing a show, or just pickin’ on the porch, their infectious love of the music spreads far and wide. Inspired by the current wave of Northwest old time bands like the Tallboys and Foghorn Stringband, and drawing from sources from the Reverend Jesus Tommy Jarrell to Bill Monroe, they create piledrivin’, scuttlebuttin’, string breakin’, hair-tearing, music that is sure to get the crowd dancing, or at least twitching uncomfortably with their fingers in their ears.
