Oh man, the best music we saw at Northwest Folklife was performed by two members of Seattle's The Tallboys, an Appalachian revival band. Guitar player, Charlie Beck, and percussive Appalachian dancer and guitarist Charmaine "Lady Li-Lei" Slaven, were incredibly entertaining. I said to Simon as we were walking by, "Oh, they're so cute, can we listen for a minute?" So glad we did! They are easy on the eyes, but we couldn't take our ears off them either!
The whole band plays at the Tractor Tavern's second-Monday-of-the-month square dance on June 11, doors @ 7 pm, music @ 8 pm. It's $5 or $8 for a pair.
