Synopsis

Album Description
The "Barn Owls Live" was recorded at the Barn Owl Band's annual spring concert in Ames, Iowa in April of 2003. The nationally recognized Barn Owl Band is powered by fiddle, banjo, accordion and whistle, backed by guitar, piano, upright bass and percussion. The Owls give new wing to the exciting sound of the traditional American string band. It's good old-fashioned, toe-tapping, foot-stomping entertainment brought up to date with fresh renditions of time-honored tunes and songs, as well as new compositions that add to the tradition. In this album, the Barn Owls showcase a wide variety of musical styles, including old-time American fiddle tunes, Irish jigs and reels, French-Canadian tunes, waltzes, airs, and folk songs. The true spirit and energy of the Barn Owl Band is captured in this live recording and is sure to bring a smile to your face.

"I first heard the Barn Owls on the Prairie Home Companion with Garrison Keillor and was hooked. My favorite is the original piece, "Cloud Mountain Waltz". It is hauntingly beautiful. This CD will make anyone a lover of string bands. So far Barn Owls don't wander far from Iowa, but with the CD, they are sure to collect an audience begging for them to come out and play!"
