Inspired by the old-time music of the Southern Appalachian Mountains, The Fatted Calf String Band plays in a hard-driving, hell-for-leather style. The Fatted Calf String Band brings intensity to old fiddle melodies with the vigorous rhythm accompaniment of banjo, guitar and bass. The liveliness of their performances are marked by rowdy sing-a-longs and long-playing dance tunes.

"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
