Come out to the Deadwood Community Center for Third Saturday on November 18th! This month we welcome back to Deadwood… Corwin Bolt & The Wingnuts! Community Potluck dinner at 6:30, music at 7:30.
Corwin Bolt & The Wingnuts are a string band formed in 2014 from Eugene Oregon. We don’t really play bluegrass. We play a handful of bluegrass tunes and are influenced by the genre and have played the music in other incarnations. We don’t really play old-time music or ragtime or country music in their purest forms either. But we do reflect these styles of American folk music in our performance. We are a string band and mostly we play original music. Our most recent recording project was a mixing together of our songs with the songs of Scott Joplin. We blended the melodies of his solo piano pieces with songs of our own and added lyrics to some of his music. We did similar arrangements of the large ensemble works of Jellyroll Morton into versions for 5-piece string band. Some of the fiddle rags from string bands of the early 20th century are also represented in this album, including the works of Arthur Smith and Ted Hawkins.
