Bio
Born Old is Doug Van Gundy and Paul Gartner. We have been playing together since 1997, and have learned or stolen from the best traditional musicians in the state of West Virginia. We play traditional old-time music from West Virginia with occasional forays into early country music from the 78 rpm era. Our shows are traditional and informative without sacrificing a very high enery/raucous fun factor. Please feel free to drop us a line, ask for an add, download a tune, come to a show, or hire us for a gig. We will entertain all interesting job offers anywhere in the world... -
