The band River Whyless stopped by the station this afternoon to play some tunes for my listeners. I really love to see young people embracing and expanding the boundaries of folk music. River Whyless does all of that by combining great vocal harmonies and traditional instruments with new ways to play those instruments like playing a banjo as a drum rather than picking the strings. They say that the root of a song starts with a guitar and vocals but then the band will experiment with various ways to play it until they like what they have created. The songs that make into the recording studio are the ones they like with some getting recycled or left behind. From what I heard today, River Whyless is ready to take folk music in a whole new direction.
