About CHICKWEED

WE ARE CHICKWEED Chickweed, Portland, OR-based all women bluegrass band, performs acoustic music that is high energy, engaging and just plain fun. Their repertoire is rooted in tradition and features bluegrass standards plus raucous original tunes. Drawing on each musician's strengths, Chickweed blends vibrant and soulful vocal harmonies with robust instrumentation. ABBY DOWNS is the band’s lead vocalist and guitar picker. Her raw lead and harmony vocals put the blues in bluegrass. FINN FOX gives Chickweed its signature sound with her lightning-fast mandolin playing. She also sings lead and harmony vocals. PATTY SPENCER adds rhythmic drive with her traditional, Scruggs-style banjo pickin’. HOLLY WYMAN maintains the low end with a rock-solid bass line that helps keep it all together. The humorous and enthusiastic nature of Chickweed’s personalities is contagious. Always friendly and quick with a smile, the women of Chickweed are ready to rock!

Sassafras Stomp	Jul 24 2009 4:38 PM 2:12 AM, eh? Late night party indeed! Thanks again for the show, the drinks, and for hangin' out in Montana. You guys are awesome, we love you too. This route is the really pretty way to get to Babb - only adds an hour, and it's worth it seeing the mountains cut up out of the prairie like ... teeth through a crepe. Only more pretty.
Sweet Hollywaiians	Jul 20 2009 6:41 PM "Ticklin' The Strings" by Sweet Hollywaiians Amazing Japanese hot string band playing 1920's, 30's, 40's style hawaiian, swing, calypso, blues, italian music and originals,featuring vintage instruments.3 songs with Robert Armstrong and Tony Marcus(from Robert Crumb and His Cheap Suit Serenaders) Promotional Video(My Girl From The South Sea Isles) "The Sweet Hollywaiians have probably the best feel for this 20's music of any string band working today. They manage the rare feat of sounding relaxed even when their playing is hot, are top notch musicians with tasteful arrangements and a full, rich, warm sound.Plus, they have a nice gamut of tunes, from King Nawahi to Giovanni Vicari to Bobby Leecan. See them live, if you can, for an unforgettable experience. If you can't, buy their Cds!" ~ Terry Zwigoff
