The Flat Mountain Girls are a high-energy old-time string band based in Portland, Oregon, known for tight, raw three-part harmonies, powerful fiddling, and performances that explode with irrepressible glee and bawdy humor.
Their repertoire includes arrangements of Carter Family classics, traditional songs from the Southern mountains, cowboy yodels, romping fiddle tunes, and the occasional original, combining tremendous enthusiasm with great respect for the old-time tradition.
With Lisa Marsicek playing fiddle, Rachel Gold on banjo, Nann Alleman on guitar and Laura Quigley, the newest Flat Mountain Girl, on bass, the Flat Mountain Girls bring foot-stomping fun to every performance.
We sure enjoyed seeing ya play at the Cobblestone this past weekend! Hope you are enjoying the rest of the tour. Best wishes. Charleen and all the LABs
Every time that we listen & write music... play an instrument... dance... act in a play... or work in some audio/image/video engineering process... something is healing inside...
When we share it with friends... something is healing all over...
Love can drive... in a simple way... everything
We are connected

------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Estimada/o The Flat Mountain Girls,
cada vez que escuchamos o escribimos musica... tocamos un instrumento... bailamos... o trabajamos en procesos de ingenieria de audio/imagen/video.... algo se sana por dentro...
Cuando lo compartimos con amigos... algo se sana en todas partes...
El Amor puede conducir... de manera simple... todo...
The Flat Mountain Girls dearest: All of your songs are beautiful however must I admit your "Sandy Boys" is a fuse catching fire, a song which can enliven any slow-going function and make even older people dance. With accomplished players and awesome vocals you're ready to bring the next house down quite easily. Since I think my simple provincial music has a lot to do with yours, I'd ask you to go over to my site, listen out to my repertoire and send me your kind comments, for which I thank you in advance. Please,accept a fraternal musical embrace from your Brazilian friend and admirer,
