LWB Welcomes Fever

Three members of the Cabin Fever String band delighted a Lunch With Books audience of 48 people with an informal hour of old time country, gospel, and bluegrass music. Scott Black played fiddle, Richard Pollack played banjo (clawhammer style) and tin whistle, and Bob Heyer played guitar. The three also perfomed three part harmonies, answered audience questions about their music, and took a few requests. During a few songs, Scott Black thrilled the audience with demonstrations of freestyle Appalachian clogging. The band played a mix of Appalachian fiddle tunes, age-old ballads, and traditional bluegrass favorites, including a pair of songs from the Carter Family as well as Man of Constant Sorrow, re-popularized by the film, O Brother Where Art Thou. The Cabin Fever String Band has been entertaining audiences all over the tri-state region since 1986, including performances at Jamboree In the Hills, the Belmont County Fair, and Bluegrass in the Hills among numerous other events.
