No Foolin'

The No Foolin' String Band
PERFORMANCE(S):
Saturday, April 28
10:00am - 11:00am
~and~
3:00pm - 4:30pm
STAGE ONE
The No Foolin’ String Band plays live, raucous old-time string band music on the fiddle, banjo, guitar, mandolin, banjo ukulele, and penny whistle. Their repertoire includes many of the old traditional fiddle and banjo tunes played at dances, supper parties, and on front porches in the early days of Texas. In fact, Sam Houston himself would have listened and danced to some of these very tunes. The band members joke that they won’t even consider a tune unless it’s more than hundred years old (though sometimes they will play some of the “modern” tunes that would have been played on the radio in the 1920s and 30s).
Like the bands of those early days, No Foolin’ is made up of regular folk who get together and play simply for the love of the old music.
