Sligo Creek Stompers (Uncredited)

Sligo Creek Stompers

The Sligo Creek Stompers play a raucous but refined blend of traditional roots music, which includes Appalachian and Midwestern old time and bluegrass, New Orleans ragtime and traditional jazz, haunted Irish fiddle tunes, classic country, and Texas and gypsy swing. Inspired by scratchy 78rpm records and contra dancing, the Stompers are keeping the flame of American string band music alive in the Washington, D.C. area. The Stompers work to stay true to the sound of the heroes of American roots music, but try to create a new sound by reworking traditional tunes.
