HICKORY WIND/ HICKORY SHITES <hickorywind>
"bluegrass,americana,trad, hard house, funky chicken"


there’s a new band in town and they smell of . . what is that, musty old Alabama cherrywood trunks filled with moth-eaten gowns and half-painted, hand-carved wooden toys left by a generation now whiskered and nostalgically inclined?
Asparagus?? But that doesn’t make any sense!

All right, embrace your inner bluegrass - the genre owes Ireland just about everything except the last two distillation batches, right? Take some young Irish lads, string together in the treble clef, douse in bourbon, whip into a lively froth and you’ve Hickory Wind.

alan o neill on geetar and singin, and the mouth organ, young micky byrne on the fiddle grindin and backin, and neil fishty on mandolins and bouzouki's and singin too, mayb someday the triangle?
three part harmonies galore, loads o craic and general noise this folk version of the power trio is set to burst onto the scene like a ton of bricks, they will blow u away with their good looks too!
