   About The Powder Kegs
The Powder Kegs play rock & roll like back before it meant anything. Sam McDougle (drums, fiddle, noise), Daniel Zane (guitars and vocals) and Ryan Dieringer (basses, piano, and vocals) first played together in a bluegrass band when they were kids. They called it the Wayside Buccs. They thought it was pretty sweet, but soon decided that they wanted to play "old-time" music instead of bluegrass. They picked up a couple other guys, Jake Hoffman and Peter Winne, and started "The Powder Kegs,” a bonafide old-time string band. They enjoyed street performing and getting people dancing up and down the coast in bars, clubs, and festivals. They were such a good string band that in the spring of 2007 they were invited to perform live on Garrison Keillor's 'A Prairie Home Companion' as finalists in its "People in Their 20's" contest and they won. The following summer and fall, PHC's best band in their 20's busked and played shows up and down the coast, amassing a repertoire of eclectic and innovative original material that they brought with them to the Hudson Valley of New York. There they set off to record their first all-original studio album with help of local producer Jeremy Backofen, combining elements of rock and jazz into their established understanding of traditional American folk music. That record, "you & your right now", was recorded during an intense month long winter session in a makeshift live-in studio-cabin in the woods of High Falls, NY. It’s dropping in a few weeks. They guarantee you will like it. This summer, the band will be getting back to its “trio” roots as Jake and Pete return to their normal lives, & the Kegs (Dan, Sam & Ryan) tour throughout the eastern states playing songs off the record, new songs, and whatever else comes to mind.
