Bebop Hoedown’s music is a fusion of bluegrass and gypsy jazz-inspired improvisation coupled with a sophisticated take on the melodic possibilities of vocal harmonies and pop. Hailing from Roanoke, Virginia, a backwater epicenter of Appalachian roots music, these musicians capture the heat of a bluegrass jam while retaining a formal awareness of more modern and International influences. Longtime students of a vital live music scene with foundations in the mountain music of times past and present, they have developed a unique and thoroughly modern musical voice.
This is genuine roots music, tried and tested in smoky bars of a region that prides itself for a truly original and meaningful pedigree. This band has figured out how to combine Beatlesque-harmonies, the energy of fire & brimstone bluegrass, and the sublimity of jazz, and the people can’t help but dance.
Check out their new release, Blue Ridge Americana, a record that is indeed pure Americana. With 9 original compositions and cover songs of Van Halen, Chuck Brodsky and The Beatles, it is an energetic and delightful treat for the senses, but most of all — it’s FUN!!!
