the lowdown fancy is a country funk band from Springfield, MO. While the fancy itself is relatively new, it combines the talents of four longtime veterans of the Ozarks music scene.
Bo Brown (bass, dobro, guitar and vocals) has been playing in and around the area for decades in a variety of groups including The Undergrass Boys, Hogmolly, Howie and the Hillcats, and Them Dang Peckerwoods.
Aaron Holmes (drums and vocals) has been a mainstay of the Springfield music scene for well over a decade. Appearing most recently in the Sociables, the area's premier hip-hop funk monsters, Aaron has also done time with Smokin' Herb Green & the Rollers, Patrick Martin and One Old Guy & the Sundowners.
Mike Henderson has and still performs with several popular area bands such as Beatles tribute group The Silver Hammer Band, The Sociables, and with Eddie Gumucio.
Steve Ames (vocal, guitar and a smattering of bass) was the frontman for local insurgents Smokin' Herb Green and the Rollers and Uncommon Sense. He's also active in the local theatre scene, appearing in roles with the Springfield Opera, The Vandivort Center Theatre, Springfield Little Theatre and MSU.
The long and short is that we love to have fun, and we really love to have fun with music, and we especially love when you come and have some musical fun with us, so come on out and see us if you get a chance. If you are a bar, club, theatre, pub, dance hall, campground, bbq pit, back yard or front porch and you'd like to have us out to play, you can contact us here or at thelowdownfancy@yahoo.com.
