DESCRIPTION:
Great South Bay Music Festival July 20th, 2014
The Homegrown String Band is a "100% Natural Organically Grown" band, homegrown by Georgianne and Rick Jackofsky and their two daughters, Erica and Annalee. This "family that plays together" has been performing around the country, from the National Theatre in Washington, DC, to the Festival of American Music and Crafts in Branson, Missouri, since 1997. Inspired by the rural string bands of the early 20th century, this 21st century incarnation of the traditional family band utilizes unique instrumentation including guitar, banjo, fiddle, dulcimer, mandolin, banjo-ukulele, harmonica, jawharp, doumbek, and percussive dance to put their own stamp on a repertoire drawn from the classics of rural American music.
