Trusting in battered wooden instruments and their own voices, The
Harkenbacks clap, stomp, crow and croon, singing traditional songs penned yesterday alongside contemporary material written before your grandmother was born. Fiddle, guitar, mandolin and upright bass roll along behind the vocals,
with occasional blasts of harmonica, tambourine and even kazoo. Their eclectic and electric performances have been lighting up stages and festivals around their Oakland, CA home, and they’re launching their second album, Farmless, with a national radio campaign. The Harkenbacks blend of twanged-out honky-tonk and hard-driving mountain picking could be the just the thing to heal some of our worried blues these days.
