I was at Eugene, OR’s Holiday Market and videoed these talented young musicians tucked away in the vegetable section of the Farmer’s Market. I loved their intensity, their country funk sound with the eerie sound of the saw violin soaring over all.
I posted a clip on Facebook, which they saw. At their request, I made them this little promo video based on what I had on hand.
Austin Bertak – tenor banjo
Rooster – guitar
Helen Long – accordion
Saxon Hidgon – saw
Nolan – wash tub bass
Max O’toole – slide guitar
You can lay a like on them here:
A good and noble deed well done, Mrs. Jensen. Once I stopped equating the sound of the saw with that of a cat being vivisected I quite enjoyed the band!
Right? That saw has an amazing sound, especially the way that young man played it in counterpoint to everything else.
