The Barrel House Mamas, a quartet of women from Asheville, NC, conjure the sweet and sultry sounds of the southern Appalachian Mountains they call home in their robust vocal harmonies and original songs.Within the Mamas’ seamless and unique sound, claw-hammer and folk style banjo playing meets the melodic finger-picking of two acoustic guitars, with the throaty voice of old-time fiddle wailing over-top. Above all of these are the soaring, poetic three-part harmonies sung from three beautiful and distinct female voices for which the Mamas have gained regional notoriety. The result is a roots-pure and undeniably moving musical experience with hints of Appalachian old time, classic folk, the blues, a touch of country, a bit of swing, and is entirely these Mamas own.
Saw these folks several weeks back in an exceptionally rare trip to an Asheville establishment. Excellent harmonies, nice original songs, lots of fun. This gig is guaranteed and certified to brighten up your mid-winter. Check them out!
Saturday, January 31 - $10 - 8 PM. The Arts Center, 90 South Main Street, Marshall, NC
