The Dickel Brothers are a bunch
of misfits trying there best not to fit
in. The band started sometime in the 90's(god knows when exactly) and
has had eight members over the years settling on the current lineup of
four. We wield an Axe, Fiddle, Banjo and the enormous Banjo Bass. The
type of music we play is of the older variety that you might find on
vinyl, shellac and yes even wax. We call it Old Time Music. The kind of
music you might listen to on the radio in the 40's and even earlier on
an old Gramophone in the parlour. It was also played by the common
folks themselves. Homemade music. Some tunes are handed down and some
are from old sheet music. We don't write much of the music we play, but
we have done so in the Past. We are Currently playing in and around
Portland, Or and hope to put a new record out this winter. We hope to
see you at an upcoming show and be prepared to shake a foot. We'll roll
the carpets back for you.
Howdy Dickel Brothers! I wanted to drop you a note to thank you for taking the time to accept us as your friend, and listening to our music. We appreciate the gesture and are grateful that you enjoyed our tunes enough to add us to your community of friends. After all, having people connect with our music is why we do this. I hope you'll come by often to say hello and let us know what's happening with you, and when you have a spare moment, please visit our brand new webpage at www. crosstimbersbluegrass. com there you can listen to more of our music and find out more about us. Feel free to sign the guestbook! (And if you have any ideas about how we could improve the webpage, be sure to let us know)
All my best and thank you again, Matt (the bass player) Cross Timbers
