Old-Time and Melodic Clawhammer Banjo

Banjovillian is Brian Wilson, David Skidmore and Somerville resident Julia Poirier. We play old-time tunes on banjo and fiddle, trading off on melody and harmony and our own individual variations. Sometimes we sing, too; and we encourage audience members to move their feet to the old-time beat. This is what music was like before it became a spectator sport. Y'all come on over and set a spell, or dance to the trance groove of old-time music.
