        Old-time music is a form of North American folk music, with
roots in the folk musics of many countries, including England,
Scotland, Ireland and Africa. This musical form developed along with
various North American folk dances, such as square dance, buck dance,
and clogging. The genre also encompasses ballads and other types of
folk songs. It is played on acoustic instruments, generally centering
on a combination of fiddle and plucked string instruments (most often
the guitar and banjo).

=95 8P Jon Shain Trio (blues/folk/acoustic) w/ Sweet By & By (bluegrass/
acoustic)- $8 cover
          Jon Shain is a veteran singer-songwriter who=92s been turning
heads for years with his words, his fiery acoustic guitar work, and
his evolved musical style-combining improvised piedmont blues with
bluegrass, swing, and ragtime.
          Sweet By & By weaves captivating three-part vocal harmonies
and traditional instrumentation into old-time bluegrass standards and
contemporary originals. The result is a fresh take on the all-female
string band that is both pure and simple in its approach and rich in
its ultimate effect.
