Back Porch Music


(MySpace photo)
In the category of Bands I Rarely Get to Hear Even Though They Reside In My Neighborhood is Norfolk's wonderful 3 Legged BackPorch Collective. Rock 'n' rollers who have caught the old-time music bug, the band plays acoustic music with an unpredictable twist. Members include Greg Wikle on mandolin, Shea Roebuck on guitar, Keith Collison on upright bass and my neighbor Cret Wilson on banjo and vocals. By stopping by the band's MySpace page you can hear a bit of what they're about -- string-band fun, a little Klezmer-like bounce, some tight harmonies and fleet-fingered picking. Very nice, boys. Now when are you going to play another gig?
