The Alder St. Allstars have been stomping their fast and grizzly folk tunes into the floors of Eugene for 5 years. Also found in towns up and down the west coast and as far away as Tennessee, they have a well-rounded arsenal of instruments: claw-hammer banjo, mandolin, fiddle, two guitars, and the double bass. With all of the band members writing songs and arranging together, their originals bring forth a refreshing diversity of sounds, from francophone melodies to dirty blues to rootsy reels. Whatever you do, don't just call it bluegrass! Also, stop standing their and slobbering on yourself, get up and dance! |

How do you get a name for a band of musicians and friends? Do you sit up late at night, or does it come in a flash of white light... like The Huckleberrys. One of our favorite songs that we have been playing is Larry's song "Elderberry Wine". So as the need arose to have a name on this thing - The huckleberry fit the elderberry! But, it really was the movie that did it... Val Kilmer as Doc Holliday knows exactly what we mean - his best performance ever!
Larry Barkemeyer, the lead singer and songwriter is the inspiration and musical souce-code of the Huckleberry Band. With old friends Jeff Boyle (bass), Tom Ellis (drums) and Colleen Ellis (vocals & guitar) the band was formed to play original & old time music in an acoustic format. Now that our old ears can't take those loud amps anymore, it was time to go a bit softer - not slow down mind you, just softer. Love that mountain music!
Larry and Jeff grew up in & around Cottage Grove, Oregon.. the home of the Huckleberrys. They have played together for years in various bands throughout the state and have friends and family that come to sit in and play the tunes at almost every opportunity.. Tom and Colleen have been in the area for 10 years - 'tho we have all been friends for much longer...
The band plays on and the huckleberrys grow just outside of town. |

Check Out: Website | Facebook | TwitterStephan Nance (whose first name is pronounced like Steven but never,
ever spelled like that) was born in Eugene, Oregon, but raised outside
any municipality, in the unincorporated area of Santa Clara. Like his
childhood home, Stephan’s songwriting resists annexation; he specializes
in awkwardly charming vegetarian straight-edge queer alternative piano
pop music. His is not the voice of the majority, nor the voice of a
generation... but it is a voice worth listening to. So shush.
Stephan’s “Song for Losers” YouTube video has over 70,000 views, a
testament to either its popularity or the frequency with which people
search the word “loser.” |
