Soggy Basement Boys
Bluegrass Band in Ridgefield, CT
Why hire Soggy Basement Boys?
The band’s repertoire includes bluegrass standards, folk rock and their own arrangements of both well-known and re-discovered classics — from Bill Monroe and other blue grass legends to such diverse songwriters as the Beatles, Cole Porter, Wilco, Mumford & Sons — to name only a few.
The ANGRY O'HARAS (our new band name!) play their instruments – guitars, upright bass, banjo, mandolin – with a high-energy style, blending their own arrangements and vocal harmonies into a captivating performance. The AO's are happiest when their audience keeps the beat with their feet and has as much fun as the band.
Check out some sample tunes on ITunes or FB (search soggy basement boys).
Fantastic Blue Grass and Beyond
I could not have made a better decision in hiring the Soggy Basement Boys aka The Angry O'Haras. I was a bit nervous hiring a group on line but we were very pleasantly surprised. Our friends could not believe I found them on line ...... they were that good!
We hired the Soggy Basement Boys for an October 13th pig roast party at our vacation home in Litchfield County, CT. We were initially outdoors where the group played Blue Grass music as requested and they were terrific. Later as the chill outside set in, everyone moved indoors, for drinks, coffee and dessert. The band also came inside and played unplugged music from the 60's, 70's and maybe the 80's. They were so gracious and their music became mellow, personal, and warmed everyone's hearts. All our guests marveled at the command of the different types of music they were capable of entertaining us with. Friends emailed me the following day asking to be put on next year's invitation list if we decided to make this a yearly event!!!
I don't believe the party would have been nearly as much fun without the group.
THEY MADE THE EVENT HAPPEN!! Cannot thank them enough!!!
