THE HUNGER MOUNTAIN BOYS OLD TIME COUNTRY MUSIC PERFORMERS, SINGER/SONGWRITERS STYLE: Bluegrass; Roots; Americana; Old-Time Country ARTIST OVERVIEW: High buzzing vocal harmonies, fleet instrumental picking on mandolin, acoustic guitar, fiddle and resonator guitar, coupled with their off-the-cuff stage banter and of course, those classic brown suits, The Hunger Mountain Boys have a duet show like no other on the touring scene today. In the tradition and spirit of the classic country duets of the 1930's, 40's, and 50's, they capture the authentic early-American country sound and the fiery energy of such legendary duets as the Monroe Brothers and Louvin Brothers. In addition to recording and performing a variety of old classics and rarities ranging from stringband-style barn-burners to weepy emotional death ballads, the 'Boys write much of their own heartfelt material, even taking 1st place in the 2003 Mountain Stage national songwriting and performing contest. Portions of their first CD, Fashioned In The Old Way are featured as accompanying music for Roots of Bluegrass, part of the 2003 release of The King of Bluegrass, a documentary on the legendary bluegrass icon Jimmy Martin. With their release of Blue Ribbon Waltz in the winter of 2005, The Hunger Mountain Boys have set out on a national tour. Check http://www.hungermountainboys.com for frequent updates to the their performance schedule. APPEARANCES: In just over two years, The Hunger Mountain Boys have shared the stage with many legendary performers, including Ralph Stanley & The Clinch Mountain Boys, Taj Mahal, The Del McCoury Band, Tim O'brien, Jim Lauderdale, Nickel Creek, Charlie Waller, Rhonda Vincent, Darrell Scott, Kathy Mattea and many others. The boys have performed at bluegrass festivals, listening rooms, nightclubs and other venues up and down the east coast.
