The Foghorn String Band
“Face it people - there’s Foghorn…and then there’s everybody else.” -Stuart Mason - The Fiddlefreak.
The Foghorn Stringband is the present day gold standard for real-deal hard-hitting
genuine old-time American string band music, with nine albums, thousands of shows,
over 15 years of touring under their belts, and an entirely new generation of roots
musicians following their lead.
American roots music is a diverse and never-ending well of inspiration, and Foghorn
Stringband continually and obsessively draws from old-time, bluegrass, classic country,
and Cajun music traditions in an ongoing quest to present a broad span of American
historical music with an unparalleled youthful energy, joy, and virtuosity.
The Foghorn Stringband is comprised four master performers and historians: -Caleb Klauder (vocals, mandolin, fiddle) - From Orcas Island, Washington-Reeb Willms (vocals, guitar) - From rural Farmer, Washington-Nadine Landry (vocals, upright bass) - From the Gaspé Coast, Eastern Quebec-Stephen ‘Sammy’ Lind (vocals, fiddle, banjo) - From Minneapolis, Minnesota
Each member of Foghorn Stringband exemplifies the best of the roots music traditions
from their respective native cultures. Caleb Klauder’s wistful, keening vocals and rapid
fire mandolin picking are as influenced by Southern roots music as much as they are by
his upbringing in the sea islands of coastal Washington State. Reeb Willms hails from
the wind swept Eastern farmlands of Washington. Her musical family and rural
upbringing are are on display with every note she sings and every heart she breaks.
Nadine Landry’s roots lie in the rural backroads of Acadian Québec, and her high
lonesome vocals have delighted audiences the world over. Her earth-shaking bass
playing is the rumbling backbone of the Foghorn sound. Minnesotan Stephen ‘Sammy’
Lind, simply put, is the old-time fiddler of his generation whose tone and voice are as
old as the same hills that gave birth to this music. Together, these four have forged a
sound like no other.
In performance, Foghorn Stringband gather around one microphone, balancing their
