Ebony Hillbillies July 25, 2008

The Ebony Hillbillies are not only one of the last black string bands in America, but they are the only string band based in NYC. Consisting of fiddle, banjo, washboard, and bass fiddle, they have successfully created a following that has crossed over to audiences in pop, country, bluegrass, folk, jazz, and beyond while maintaining their grassroots credibility.
