We are the "Flatwater Drifters", an all-woman string band that plays acoustic string instruments, including fiddle, banjo, mandolin, guitar, hammered dulcimer, and string bass. We specialize in traditional old-time and Irish music, as well as more modern tunes in the old-time genre. We play a wide-range of tunes including hoe-downs, schottisches, hambos, waltzes, gospel, jigs, hornpipes and slow airs. Instrumental and vocal harmonies are frequently highlighted. A great deal of the music we play is intended for dancing, so some tunes include clogging and Irish step-dance routines.
