A lot of people think that old-time fiddle banjo music is super simple, you just play
the same thing over and over again, blah blah blah, but that couldn't be farther from the [D] truth.
Hi, I'm Allison [Em] DeGroot and I'm [D] Tatiana Hargraves and this is our duo.
There was this one summer where we were at all the same festivals and we just, every
chance we could get, we would just play together for hours and something just really clicked.
One of my favorite things about this duo is taking a unique tune or a tune that's kind
of an eccentric tune and really exploring that together.
We've taken some stuff that's solo fiddle or solo banjo and explored what it means to
play that as a duo.
On the album we have some tracks that are written by contemporary musicians that we
really look up to, Alice Gerard and Junie Hyman, and then we also have a lot of material
[A] that is from [D] source recordings.
A source recording has a [G] lot of information in it.
It has [D] musical information.
If you dig around, it has historical information.
It's a cool kind of access point into an area, into people, into cultural situations.
We're both [G] kind of drawn to similar tunes that often have some sort of bizarre element
to them, either in the [D] tune itself or in the backstory of the tune.
We [G] do [D] this tune called Farewell Whiskey, which comes from a fiddler from Mississippi, John
Hatcher, and he plays these crazy [E] harmonics on the [D] source recording.
And sometimes he kind of hits really dissonant [F#m] harmonics, and we don't know if it's on purpose
or on accident, but we took that dissonance [D] and kind of expanded on it.
Wabash Blues comes from a great banjo player, Hobart Smith, and this was a really fun one
to work up as a duo because it's such a banjo tune.
Hobart does stuff that I just cannot figure out how to do, and it was really cool to kind
of try to split that between the fiddle and the banjo.
We did a Blue Sky Boys song.
The Blue [Bm] Sky Boys were William and Earl [A] Bollick from Hickory, [D] North Carolina.
It was kind of fun playing with the pronouns a little bit.
We hope that the selection of tunes on this album will lead people down some rabbit holes
and that they will look up some of these incredible musicians that we learned this music [F] from.
[G] We've been working on the material for this and playing together over the past few years,
and we're just excited to finally have this album to share with you.
There's going to be vinyl, which we're really excited about.
It's going to have gold on it.
Yes, gold leaf embossing, foil something.
Something, real gold.
Yeah, and then also CDs.
You can get it everywhere digital, but you should get the LP and the CD.
Yeah, you should get the gold.
It's $1,000 because [Gm] it's really nice.
[D] Maybe we're going to be coming to a town [F#m] near you, and you can come see us in person [E] and
get our album at the show.
We'll see you out there.
