The Hokum Hoedown is a modern take on the old-time hootenanny featuring
the infectious swing of the Hokum Hi-Flyers acoustic string band.
At each Hoedown (first Friday of every month), the Hokum boys per...form
a diverse assortment of traditional folk-dance and string-band tunes
while a cast of colorful callers directs the dances.
In
addition to square dancing, the Hokum Hoedown features some good
old-fashioned, swingin’, two-steppin’ western dancing. Young and old,
couples and families, tattooed hipsters and ten-gallon cowboys ... the
Hokum Hoedown is a come-as-you-are, hand-clappin’ hootenanny for all.
ABOUT HOKUM HI-FLYERS: We play Appalachian old-time mountain music, as
well as other forms of unplugged 1920s/30s American roots music (Cajun,
swing, traditional country). Our high-energy fiddle tunes will get you
on your feet and hollerin' at the rafters. We serve up Hokum and we
serve it hot!
