The Hastings Concert Association continues its 2022-2023 season with the upcoming performance by one of the finest Bluegrass & Rockabilly & Mountain Music bands around.
They mix original music and contemporary takes on oldtime, traditional tunes for a rollicking great time.
Led by husband-and-wife Quillan and Kim Roe with strong harmony vocals and endless talent. Kim plays the autoharp, banjolele, washboard, and spoons – and performs award-winning clogging. Quillan plays the banjo and archtop guitar. Other band members play a variety of traditional instruments in addition to bluegrass specialties such as musical saw, jug, and kazoo. These folks have a lot of fun playing and singing, and will appeal to audiences of all ages With a huge songbook of selections from Bill Monroe, Hank Williams, Jimmy Driftwood, Dock Boggs, Neil Young, or Johnny and June Carter Cash, their songs have a passion for mountain life, heartache, farm animals, and nostalgic reflections of home. Their front porch pickin’ and singin’ will be popular with all ages at barn dances, fiddle pulls, hoedowns, county fairs, and shindigs far and wide.
They have shared the stage with Doc Watson, Ralph Stanley, Mike Seeger, Del McCoury, the Grascals, Junior Brown, Asleep at the Wheel, and John McEuen & John Carter Cash. In recent years they have won many awards, including: the band was awarded the prestigious McKnight Fellowship for Performing Musicians; they won the title of “World’s Best Jug Band” twice at the annual Battle of the Jug Bands; Kim won the clogging competition at the Old-Time Music & Ozark Heritage Festival, held in West Plains, MO; won Best Band, Best Band Overall, Album of the Year and Entertainers of the Year from Bluegrass Music Association of Iowa.
