John Hasbrouck is multi-intrumentalist whose guitar and mandolin playing have earned him critical praise both locally and nationally. His debut CD, "Ice Cream", featuring his fingerstyle and bottleneck guitar work, was cited by Acoustic Guitar magazine as one of the "Top CDs of 2002." "Stomp Glide Wobble", released in 2008 by his duo, The Northside Southpaws, features his mandolin playing and has been called "...one of the best mandolin CDs of the year" by Mandolin Magazine. In the late 70s Hasbrouck fronted a suburban psychedelic heavy metal punk rock band before enrolling at NIU to study classical guitar. In the early 80s he toured extensively with a reggae/ska band, and later moved to Madison, Wisconsin, where he played in the streets with an old-time string band. Throughout the 90s he polished his solo act, playing innumerable Chicago cafes and clubs. He currently performs frequently around Chicago with a number of bands including The Northside Southpaws and The Lawrence Peters Outfit. He teaches guitar and mandolin privately and has been on staff at The Old Town School of Folk Music since 2002.
"Ticklin' The Strings" by Sweet Hollywaiians
Amazing Japanese hot string band playing 1920's, 30's, 40's style hawaiian, swing, calypso, blues, italian music and originals,featuring vintage instruments.3 songs with Robert Armstrong and Tony Marcus(from Robert Crumb and His Cheap Suit Serenaders)
"The Sweet Hollywaiians have probably the best feel for this 20's music of any string band working today. They manage the rare feat of sounding relaxed even when their playing is hot, are top notch musicians with tasteful arrangements and a full, rich, warm sound.Plus, they have a nice gamut of tunes, from King Nawahi to Giovanni Vicari to Bobby Leecan. See them live, if you can, for an unforgettable experience. If you can't, buy their Cds!" ~ Terry Zwigoff
