Tin Nanny is an irrepressible folk and bluegrass band hailing from Philadelphia. Hootin’ and hollerin’ since 2022, the band builds a catalogue of original music which both draws from and challenges tradition. They are known for being well-equipped with a repertoire of traditional American folk and bluegrass, as well as occasionally straying from the beaten path to cover contemporary tunes in traditional four-part harmonies. Tin Nanny has a sound all its own. But if you were to compare, like-sounding artists could include Billy Strings, Molly Tuttle and Golden Highway, Jean Ritchie, and Robert Hunter. Common themes in Tin Nanny’s original songs include foot-stomping explorations of city life, personal geographies, trains, and the natural world when they can find it. The four distinct musical voices in Tin Nanny always weave, diverge, and join back together to create a clear sense that the totality of their music is greater than its individual parts.
The Red Tailed Rounders are a hard-driving and swinging country string band. The group performs bluegrass and country standards, as well as unique and heartfelt original music. With a classic string band lineup of guitar, banjo, fiddle, mandolin, and upright bass, The Red Tailed Rounders bring new songs into an age-old tradition of American folk music.
