Award-Winning Old-Time Band Strikes a Chord with Nashville Music Firm!

Award-winning old-time band strikes a chord with Nashville Music FirmThe multi-award-winning old-time band, The HogSlop String Band has signed with Moonstruck Management for management and booking.

With their intentionally unkempt appearance and undeniable charm, the gifted fellas of HogSlop follow in the footsteps of such country music luminaries as Uncle Dave Macon and Gid Tanner. Their high energy, fast-pickin’ performances are appreciated by both young and old alike.

"I am so excited about adding The HogSlop String band to the Moonstruck family of artists,” said Moonstruck's  Josh Trivett. “I have such a love for the old-time string band style of music. When I first saw HogSlop perform, I was blown away at the authenticity of the music they presented mixed with the energy and uniqueness in which they conduct and deliver their show. I am excited about the immediate impact these guys are going to have on the industry."

The HogSlop String Band is a Nashville based old time string band comprised of six energetic young musicians hailing from Georgia, Tennessee, California and North Carolina.  Featuring Casy Meikle and Kevin Martin on fiddles, Graham Sherrill on banjo, Gabe Kelley on guitar, Daniel Allen Frazier Jr. on washboard and Casey McBride on the washtub bass, these boys surely raise a ruckus as they tip a hat to some great, historic sounds.

Known for their outrageous facial hair and a rollicking repertoire heavily based on Georgia and Middle Tennessee fiddle tunes, these boys have provided entertainment for fashion shows, political conventions and whiskey distilleries as well as countless weddings, festivals and other soirees.
