Band Profiles

In 1974, Ithaca, NY was the northernmost outpost for the Appalachian Fiddle Music Revival that began in the late 60's. Bubba George grew directly out of two root-sources that co-existed in the Ithaca Old Time Music Scene.

New Release for Donna the Buffalo due out in July of 2008!

John Specker was born in 1950. He grew up in Astoria, Queens absorbing early Rock 'n Roll and Motown beat. John started taking classical violin lessons at age thirteen.

The signature sound of The Chicken Chokers combines a string pounding 4-man rhythm section, ever-crazed fiddling, infamous 'air-raid siren' vocals, and the hallmark Chicken Choker Big Boy Chorus. Throughout the 80's the Chokers entertained many, influenced a select few, and recorded 2 albums for Rounder Records before exploding in all musical directions.

The Fountains performed as a band from 1993 to 2002.

2008 has seen the release of the Horse Flies' first full-length studio album in many years –“Until the Ocean” -- the first since the passing of their beloved bass-player and friend, John Hayward.  The Horse Flies are indeed back!
