CANCELLED: Original Famous Twang Sundays: Live Country Music | Potrero Hill

​This Sunday, November 22nd ​Original Famous Twang Sundays welcomes Gayle Lynn & The Hired Hands, Skillet Licorice. While writing and creating theater pieces, Gayle Lynn started her own music/movement program focusing on children’s music. With her group, the Toodala Ramblers, who play bluegrass music for kids and families, she recorded two award winning children’s CD’s. By 2005, along with her long-time partner Tom Drohan, she created the Hired Hands and has performed extensively around the Bay Area and at Festivals. Just Came Around is their first CD.

Skillet Licorice is the latest project from San Francisco Bay Area roots-music luminaries Elise Engelberg and Matt Knoth. The duo’s talents are showcased beautifully on their new self-titled CD which draws on their diverse experiences playing in numerous string bands over the years in a dizzying array of folk genres. Whether they’re playing hot fiddle breakdowns, slinky blues, sparkling banjo breaks, ragtime or dreamy waltzes the duo displays an impressive command of styles and techniques that comes from deep study and loving dedication to America’s folk traditions. With the help of their talented friends they’ve put together an album of songs that is essentially traditional, yet with a modern approach that is anything but a stodgy museum piece. Skillet Licorice is hot, sweet, and just a bit greasy.
