Production details
The Wiyos, from Brooklyn, New York featured in the BBC documentary Folk America: Hollerers, Stompers and Old Time Ramblers as a hallmark band in the resurgence of traditional American music over the past decade. Their inspiration comes from the great dance bands of the 1920's and ?30's; the early swing syncopations, the grit and intensity of country blues, the bouncing rhythms of piedmont fingerpickers combined with the physical comedy of vaudeville performers. This event takes place in The Forge
