Sligo Creek Stompers at Brentwood Arts Exchange Listening Room

About

Sligo Creek Stompers play a raucous but refined blend of traditional roots music: Appalachian & Midwestern old time and bluegrass, New Orleans-style traditional jazz, haunted Irish fiddle tunes, honkytonk & classic country, Texas & gypsy swing. Inspired by scratchy 78 rpm records, contra dancing and a good bottle of whiskey, the Stompers are keeping the flame of American string band music alive in the Washington, DC area. With a slew of stringed instruments in tow, they have delighted audiences at the Kennedy Center's Millennium Stage, the Sixth & I Historic Synagogue, The Hamilton, among others, and are sure to be a hit at this upcoming Listening Room concert.
