The first Saturday of each month Big Howdy hosts a showcase featuring a special guest!
Special Guest: Danny Paisley
Danny Paisley is one of the greatest traditional bluegrass singers on the planet. He is a four-time International Bluegrass Music Association Male Vocalist of the Year and a venerated presence on the national bluegrass scene. We are enormously honored that Danny and his son Ryan will join us for this exciting showcase!
Danny grew up listening to the music his father Bob played and enjoyed hearing the sounds of classic bluegrass like Red Allen, Mac Martin, Bill Monroe, the Stanleys, Reno and Smiley, and the Osbornes -- in addition to old-time mountain music and traditional country music. Once you hear Danny sing, it is no surprise that he lists George Jones and Vern Gosdin as major influences in his singing.
A DC-based progressive bluegrass band featuring the duet singing of Dede Wyland and Randy Barrett. The group offers a mix of original songs plus reinterpretations of classic country, bluegrass and roots material. Dede is a nationally recognized vocalist while Randy is a well-established singer songwriter and banjoist. Together with Ira Gitlin on bass and Tom McLaughlin on mandolin, Big Howdy sounds unlike any other band. And that's the way they like it.
