Hillbilly Hootenanny
Ever wondered about the roots of Country Music? Turning back time before the Nashville Sound? Hillbilly Hootenanny gives you a glimpse at a company of six back porch pickers performing music that has shaped their lives and the lives of many since the 1940s.
The music of The Carter Family, Johnny Cash, Hank Williams and other artists who have performed in the time between then and now, will fill the hall with an atmosphere of “dyed-in-cloth” Country Music.
Heading up this troupe of seasoned performers is Welsh-born Ian Cal Ford and The Railmen. Following in the footsteps of his father Cal Ford, who was affectionately known to many as “The Welsh Johnny Cash,” Ian carries on the family tradition by honouring Country Music with a sincere appreciation of its history. His long-time musical companions Steve Tomsett on Lead Guitar and Dave Greaves on Double Bass make up The Railmen who provide superb instrumental backing. Together they recreate the authentic sound that made Sun Records famous.
Dave Luke and Tommy Mills perform Country Swing that will set your toes a-tapping. Consummate musicians who have performed in countless successful bands of various genres, Dave and Tommy turn their hands to a style of music that they both have a passion for and it shows.
Canadian Singer/Songwriter Chuck Micallef brings the Country Folk element to the show. Chuck performs and writes in an intimate story telling style that lends itself to the delivery of lyrical imagery.
All the performers have appeared in numerous venues both sides of the Atlantic, including The Grand Ole Opry, The Ryman Auditorium, The Riverboat Coffee House and Americana International.
Besides promising a memorable evening of "The Real Deal" Country Music, Hillbilly Hootenanny is committed to working along side the promoters by contacting the media.
Local radio, newspapers and television will be approached in order to raise the potential audience for each individual event. The Internet will also be employed in marketing any booking received.
