FURNACE MOUNTAIN
Musician Pub 10th April 2024
A real treat at The Musician Pub last night... a wonderful slice of front porch bluegrass music from Furnace Mountain Band all the way from Viginia/West Virginia. Pure unplugged acoustic music played fully acoustically with not a hint of an effects pedal or electronic trickery... such a refreshing and a beautiful pure sound.
The band are Aimee Curl (bass/vocals) Morgan Morrison (bouzouki/vocals) Fiddlin' Dave Van der Deventer (fiddle/vocals) and Danny Knicely (mandolin/fiddle). Four fine musicians and singers clearly loving playing their music.
The set was a mix of original pieces and covers... including some unlikely songs such as "Suzanne" (Leonard Cohen) and "I want you" (Bob Dylan) as well as their cover of "Ooh Belle" (Barr Brothers)
This is music to bring a smile to everyones lips... ranging from delicate ballads through to stomping up tempo tune sets... all played with the same joy and commitment.
For the most part the bass and bouzouki create the rhythms and beat while the mandolin and fiddle take the lead parts... and each member of the band contributes equally to the overall sound and feel.
This is definitely happy music... good time, pure music played brilliantly and lovingly... you just couldn't help loving the gig and the wonderful band
A really uplifting and lovely performance
Keep music live... keep music real... support your local venue
