From rollicking fiddle breakdowns to mountain ballads to hillbilly blues, the energetic old-time string band Run Mountain breathes new life into American roots music. Equally at home performing at festivals, coffeehouses, country fairs, or square dances, and adding "zing" to special events, Run Mountain combines the musicians' talents into an exciting and engaging ensemble featuring powerful vocals accompanied by banjo, fiddle, guitar, harmonica, ukelele with flatfoot dancing to boot. Run Mountain is kicking off Brandon's Soar Summerfest weekend with an ol' time square dance and you won't want to miss them.
