Foghorn Stringband
Rock Island Grange
Comprised of Caleb Klauder and Reeb Willms, based in Portland Oregon, along with Stephen "Sammy" Lind and Nadine Landry, now located in Pointe-à-la-Croix, Quebec, the Foghorn Stringband continues to bring joy to its audiences by playing the music they love. Rock Island Grange is the band's 9th release since its beginnings in 2000. In classic Foghorn style, the album is packed with old-timey traditional fiddle tune and song gems, familiar and not, that the band has always loved. The album was recorded live inside of the Orcas Island Grange Hall, a historic building on Orcas Island in Washington States Puget Sound where Caleb grew up. The band was completely at ease playing in the warm, natural acoustics of the hall drawing inspiration from classic Foghorn repertoire as well as newly worked up material. "Many are called, but few are chosen.Foghorn Stringband proves that they are still the Chosen Ones when it comes to down-home, footstomping, ass-kickin old time music." - Stuart Mason, FiddleFreak
