SUNDAY CONCERT: THE DRIFTLESS PLOWBOYS
Join us at the Neenah Public Library on Sunday, October 8, 2023 at 2:00 p.m. for a fantastic performance from The Driftless Plowboys, a new band playing vintage music that combines hillbilly pre-country with Hawaiian steel guitar!
During the 1920s and ’30s, when Hawaiian was the craze in popular music, hillbilly string bands and blues musicians infused their tunes with the exotic glissando of the steel guitar. That’s the heart of The Driftless Plowboys repertoire, but this unique quartet also incorporates the Gypsy Jazz of Django Reinhardt and the Western Swing of Bob Wills, as well as more modern country tunes from the ’40s and ’50s. It’s an ear-catching amalgamation of heart, humor, and rootsy flavor.
The concert will take place in the first floor Shattuck Community Room at the Neenah Public Library. All interested individuals are welcome to attend this free event. If accommodations are needed to attend, please contact the library at least 24 hours in advance of the program.
