HOEDOWN BANDS

Yee - Haa !! Or something like that !

To get our take on Hoedown Bands (and how the cowboys fit in) please take a look at http://www.jigsandreels.co.uk/dances/hoedown-dances.shtml where we have explained more fully.Clearly,the American theme is required - at least in the music,if not in the dressing up and this should be apparent in the samples of bands below which have been given as an example.Some of our bands play almost exclusively Bluegrass/Appalachian/Country and Old Tyme music for dancing (please note - NOT 'Country & Western' and NOT 'Line Dancing') ....see

Band Ref OYD - see http://www.jigsnreels.com/banddetail.php?ID=110

Others will also mix the dancing up with songs in the style like

Band Ref RGTS - see http://www.jigsnreels.com/banddetail.php?ID=91

and others will truly fit themselves out for a rootin' tootin' night like

Band Ref SHB - see http://www.jigsnreels.com/banddetail.php?ID=114

A number of bands will also incorporate these styles of music as part of a mixture of various styles including Cajun music....for instance Band Ref OCJ - see http://www.jigsnreels.com/banddetail.php?ID=32

And if you want the really 'big band' sound,see Band Ref FPOT on http://www.jigsnreels.com/banddetail.php?ID=104
