Corn Potato String Band on Wanakena Town Green Saturday

 WANAKENA -- The Corn Potato String Band will perform Saturday, Sept 22 at 7 p.m. on the Wanakena Town Green.

The free show for all ages is the last concert of the 2018 Clifton-Fine Summer Concert Series.

"The Corn Potato String Band earns high praise in traditional American music, keeping old time fiddle and banjo music from a one-way trip to the dustbins of history. Theirs is a story of struggle, hard knocks and triumph. Essentially unable to cope with modern life, the members of this band are outcasts of society who survive by playing the lost music of the flatlands where they were raised,” said the band’s website.

The Corn Potatos have delighted audiences with their driving fiddle tunes and harmonious singing across the US, Canada, Europe, Mexico, and India. They are all multi-instrumentalists dedicated to continuing the music and dance traditions of the Central and Southern US. In addition to being champion fiddlers they play banjo, guitar, bass and mandolin and deftly handle many different antiquated styles including ballads, “ho-downs,” country “rags” and southern gospel, specializing in twin fiddling and double banjo tunes, the website said.
