Over Under Down Yonder (OUDY)

Bio:

Well met in the affluent open-mike scene of the greater D.C. area, the four six-string players of Over Under Down Yonder exchanged three of four guitars for a banjo, mandolin, and upright bass to sing their favorite bluegrass tunes. Thus, they down-sized from a band total of 24 strings to 23. But the loss of one string is easily overlooked and forgotten when T-Peg (bass), Rollin' Ralph (banjo), Hobo Hanson (guitar), and Boxcar Herb (mandolin) start picking, hell-bent on getting down to the business of acoustic Americana merrymaking. Blending traditional tunes with contemporary love-loss, Over Under Down Yonder croon, whoop, harmonize, bleed, and stomp their way through train tunes, horse hymns, corn liquor lullabies, moonshine melodies, and Shenandoah shanties. Playing this country’s oldest music, the boys of OUDY take this oral tradition all the way down — down town.
