down home radio show » Various Field Recordings
Anthology Film Archives – New York City 12/8/07:
This show was after a screening of the film “Bound to Lose†which is a GREAT documentary about The Holy Modal Rounders. “The End of the World Banjo Band†is a current project by Peter Stampfel of The Holy Modal Rounders. It’s an all banjo band featuring Peter Stampfel, John Cohen (of the New Lost City Ramblers), Jeannie Scofield, Walker Shepard and Down Home Radio’s own Eli Smith. Faced with the end of the world, seemingly the only option is actually to create an all-banjo-band. The band has 5-string banjos, banjo-mandolin, and 6-string banjo-guitar.
