About Me

TURNIN' UP THAT HIGH LONESOME SOUND Sid and Fancy is an energetic hybrid of old-timey traditional American bluegrass and contemporary punk drive. They focus on rhythmic dynamics and vocal harmony as well as music that speaks to the finality of the human condition and the levity that comes with the hubris of mortality.

Their live shows feature and energetic crowd, raucous celebration, and a generous helping of the roughest whiskey around. Saddle up and take a turn in the pit, you wont regret it!

Check out our self titled EP (reviewed here ) and our recent release: "Now Naked"
