THE UNDERHILLS // WHITE LIGHTNING BOYS // THE HAMMER & THE HATCHET
The Underhills - http://theunderhillsmusic.bandcamp.com
The Underhills are a six-piece acoustic group formed in Bloomington, Indiana in 2012. Masterfully weaving together guitars, banjo, fiddle, mandolin, and bass, the band creates an original sound that is evocative of old-time folk and bluegrass music, while experimenting with new ideas and grooves not typically heard on these instruments. Inspired by the wooded hills of southern Indiana, they combine rich harmonies and virtuosic instrumental ability to carve out their own niche within bluegrass music. They released their first self-produced EP in the spring of 2012, “Songs From Delong,” a collection of songs that shows a band beginning to define their own their own sound. This was followed up in the summer of 2013 with “Outside In The Morning,” featuring the band’s current lineup and highlighting their evolution as an ensemble.
White Lightning Boys - http://www.reverbnation.com/whitelightningboys
The White Lightning Boys have toured all over Brown County, Indiana, up every hill and down every holler, occasionally venturing as far as Jasper, Indiana. Once they got lost and ended up in Watseka, Illinois which was fortuitous because they were asked to open for the legendary Tony Rice Unit. And Ryan Deasy (bass, vocals) met Christae and fell hill over holler in love. The Boys have also shared stages, spotlights and sometimes cookie recipes with local, regional, national and international touring artists such as Tim Grimm, Ockerville River, Travelin’ McCourys, Cornmeal, Rumpke Mountain Boys, Henhouse Prowlers, Flatland Harmony Experiment, New Old Cavalry, Whipstitch Sallies, The Cox Brothers, Lexi Minnich – and Harsch Reality, they’ve even had coffee and pie with Rev Peyton’s Big Damn Band. The band has played festivals with stars such as Mike Compton, Larry Keel, Jamie Hartford and Great American Taxi, not to mention Danny Barnes and Eric Lambert. One of the Boys once refused to shake Del McCoury’s hand because Del refused to sign his wife’s breast.
