The Sky Blue Boys to Play Old Time Music at the Old Firehouse

On Friday, April 25, at 7:30 p.m. the Sky Blue Boys, Banjo Dan and Willy Lindner, will be on the Old Firehouse  Stage in Tinmouth.

The boys have revived the tradition of old-time brothers duos such as The Monroe Brothers and the Louvin Brothers. They have built up a large repertoire of wonderful old ballads, parlor songs, heart songs, and sacred numbers. They have expanded the instrumentation to include a variety of acoustic instruments and added some newer songs including their own compositions.

Playing together for decades, they formed the celebrated Vermont bluegrass band Banjo Dan and the Mid-nite Plowboys in 1972. Its rousing songs celebrated rural Vermont instead of the Southern Appalachians. But never far from their hearts were the sounds they learned to love long ago – the simple moving sounds of the early “brothers duets”.

The Old Firehouse is located at 7 Mountain View Road near its intersection of Vermont Route 140 in Tinmouth Center. Doors open at 7 p.m.; a donation of $10 is encouraged. Tinmouth groups supply tasty refreshments as fund-raisers for their activities.
