About Me |
|
The Orpheus Supertones are one of the best-kept secrets of traditional American music. The band features Walt Koken, fabled in song and story for his fiery fiddling and hot banjo picking. Koken is thefounder of the Highwoods Stringband and an inspiration to banjo players and fiddlers worldwide. With Walt are Clare Milliner, genius of traditional American fiddle tunes, Pete Peterson, banjo picker and singerextraordinaire, and Kellie Allen, traditional singer and guitarist. Each one of them is an award-winning musician inhis or her own right. Together, the Orpheus Supertones are top flight in old-time music, twin fiddles a-flailing,vocal harmonies a-blazing, hot banjo and guitar licks a-rocking your world. More about the Orpheus Supertones here , or read on: The Eureka Times Standard said: "The band displays a familiarity that draws the audience in right off the bat.*Just pretend we’re in the living room*, Koken says, *having a few drinks and playing a few tunes.* Oh, but don't befooled by the just-folks, easy demeanor. These people are take-no-prisoner, downright hot musicians." Bluegrass Unlimited said: “Orpheus Supertones have captured the essence of early country music.” The Tones have two CDs on the Mudthumper label, and there is more music to come!
