Driftwood Singers
Performing at the Folk Stomp at 7pm on Monday, July 25
“The Driftwood singers write songs. This in itself is not uncommon, there is a long history of people who write songs. What makes The Driftwood Singers stand out is that they have tapped into a history that pulses with vitality, despite its aesthetics having been formed upwards of 100 years ago. The Driftwood singers write old songs. They write, damn good, damn old, songs. Dedicated to their craft, their close harmonies and sublime arrangements have them compared often to the Carter Family. Inherent in their work is something darker though, that underlines familiar early American themes of transience, mortality and yes, damnation while brimming with contemporary discontent. Their gospel songs are conflicted, their murder ballads are not fraught with bloodlust, and their drinking songs beg for hope. Whether in duo or with the whole Driftwood ensemble they are not to be missed.”
