Old Time and classic bluegrass performance by The Horsenecks with The Lottie Doddies
The Horsenecks play The Royal Room on Thursday, October 8, with The Lottie Doddies opening. The Horsenecks come from Astoria, Oregon, and they work in Old Time and classic bluegrass—the kind of music that sits squarely in the folk and americana tradition. They describe their own sound as hard-hitting and heartfelt, which gives you a decent sense of where they land: it's bluegrass with a bit of a punch to it, not just background music.
If you're not familiar with the terms, Old Time is the older, string-band ancestor of bluegrass, and classic bluegrass is the high-lonesome sound that followed. The Horsenecks pull from both, so you'll get the driving rhythm of the bluegrass side alongside the more traditional, community-driven feel of Old Time. It's a good fit for a Thursday night in Seattle, especially if you're into folk and americana.
