Sounds Like
An autoharp, a saw, a canary, a fiddle, an insecure marching drum married to a washboard, a guitar, a lapdance, two pairs of vocal chords and a slightly upright bass.
Ebenezer And The Hymnasters are a "Folkestra" who can practically raise the dead with their electric and eclectic versions of old timey spirituals, murder ballads and story songs. Through their music they will introduce you to people and places from the not to distant past. Three part harmonies soar over the sounds of the fiddle, the singing saw, electric slide, washboard, autoharp, guitar, bass and drums. Their performance will both take you back to simpler times and give you hope for the future.

Hehe. Thanks Eb (& Hymnasters too). Never been asked to play a wedding before. Sounds like fun :-0 Tracks sound just great. And 1927 is also a favourite at the moment.
Wowzas - random meetings can lead to great discoveries. I love your sound! It's terrific. It'll be cool to see you Wednesday. Let me know if you guys are free to meet up for a coffee or summat before then. xo Rach
Yes, indeed! I'll be in London (Shepherds Bush) on May 14th. Sorry it ain't sooner but I sure am looking forward... Enjoyed y'alls songs. Hope to see you in the spring.
Bruce! Hope you're well in London. Waiting for winter to do the vocals and then the album should be done. How's yours? I hope i get to hear it eventually. I really like the songs i've heard so far.
I can't wait to get my hands on one of these cd's! the new song sounds great. It gives me a feeling of anxiousness or urgency and the song never releaves me of that. That's why i like it. I love you hymnasters!
whats up just wanted to drop in and see how you are doing since i haven't heard from you in awhile. i hope everything is going good with you. everything is going good for me. get back to me and let me know how things are with you. oh, damn, i almost forgot to tell you!!! i got this Macys shoppin card in the mail the other day, i didn't think when i submitted that short survey that it would actually work, but it did!!! just thought i'd let you know so you can get one before they are all gone.
hey all, this is really fantastic stuff. thanks for the add. we're going to be in your area in three weeks or so; maybe we'll find some time to connect.
