Bluegrass from
California
Touring UK & Ireland Jan 11th - Feb 12th 2013
Influenced by the Appalachian string bands as well as their own Central California country roots, they play a style that's somewhere between old time, bluegrass, and country, which has resulted in not only a set of traditional tunes but also their own blend of music which is The Old Tire Swingers. A typical Old Tire Swingers set, listeners will hear both traditional and original songs. Although much of the music the band plays is hard driving old time music, fans of bluegrass, country, acoustic, folk, and Americana are sure to find something they will enjoy in the songs.
When Paul Chesterton first heard bluegrass music back in 2003, he fell in love with the banjo. He soon purchased his first banjo and started teaching himself how to play it. At a local bluegrass festival, he learned the claw hammer style at a pickin workshop, and after spending a couple of years focusing on his style and writing songs, Paul put together a hard driving, old time string band. Joined by Nick Kennedy on guitar, Frick Dau on upright bass, and Nathanael Felon on mandolin.
