Old Baby Mackerel play high-energy, foot-stomping Bluegrass with three-part harmonies. Their music uses the rhythmic sounds of banjo, guitar, mandolin, fiddle and double bass to get knees bouncing and elbows swinging to the virtuosic sound of blistering solos and tasteful harmonies.
Be prepared to be transported back in time to the early 20th century and across the Atlantic to North America where songs dramatized the small town fascination with locomotion, religion and the veneration of whisky and bootleg liquor.
"Bluegrass like no other! That impossibly illusive blend of traditional Apalachian virtuosity and hard driving rhythm mixed with modern sensibility, tasteful originals, three-part harmonies and mind-boggling technical wizardry.”
They have recently featured on BBC 6 Music, in The British Bluegrass News and completed a run of sold-out shows at venues across the UK, Ireland and mainland Europe, played main stage slots at Glastonbury, Boomtown, Shambala, Latitude, and further afield at Westport Bluegrass (Ireland), Willisau (Switzerland), Nääsville (Sweden), Pflasterspektakel (Austria) and Jai Thep (Thailand).
