The Iron Leg Boys

The Iron Leg Boys, from eastern and central West Virginia, play old-style string band music and fiddle tunes unique to their home state. The November 2011 release of their long-awaited first recording has helped expose the band and their unique repertoire to a wider audience. http://questionablerecords.bandcamp.com/album/the-iron-leg-boys

The Driftwood Singers

The Driftwood Singers are prolific writers immersed in the folk tradition building on songs and stories that at their heart are observations of the human condition in all it’s gruesome variations and beautiful splendor. http://thedriftwoodsingers.com/
