Big Hungry Joe

Big Hungry Joe is a danish old-time band located in Copenhagen.

The band in its present form started playing together in may-june 2006.

Their repetoir mainly consists of old fiddletunes and songs which have their origin in the Appalachians and surrounding areas.

A lot of these tunes are also the basis for bluegrassmusic, but Big Hungry Joe play them the old time way. They also perform and record the old time way. Sitting, knee to knee around a single microphone.



Most old time bands have the fiddle as the main instrument. The instrument that carry the melody in the dance tunes. Big Hungry Joe however do not have a fiddler, but a harmonica player, Lasse Höi, who does a fine job on, what's called "the poor mans fiddle".

A fine band such as Boiled Buzzards has the same set up.

Big Hungry Joe plays for traditional square dances, and also for song gigs.
