Airhorn Slim’s upbeat charm on resonator guitar and kazoo
What’s not to like about upbeat tunes played on resonator guitar and kazoo? Not much, that’s what. And given how much fun Airhorn Slim is to listen to, it’s worth giving each of these tunes a few listens. Eagle-eyed viewers may recognize Airhorn Slim from other Busk Break videos, such as Balkan...

Blake Abyss and Amy Alvey’s improv jam on Hang and violin
Watching this video of violinist Amy Alvey and Hang drum player Blake “Blake Abyss” Larson perform together, you’d probably expect to hear that the duo had been busking together for weeks, if not years. As unusual at the pairing of the instruments is, the whole thing comes together in a way that...

Adhi covers “Over The Rainbow”
There are some songs that bypass every bit of cynicism, pretense and stylistic preference. They slip right through the portcullis bars of the psyche, and slide into the unguarded heart where nostalgia and memory live. For me, one of those songs is “Over The Rainbow.” Sure, the The Wizard of Oz...

Jimbo Lockhart and Abby The Spoon Lady perform “Polly Wolly Doodle”
In this third tune from our 2012 session with guitarist/singer Jimbo Lockhart and percussionist Abby The Spoon Lady, we hear a spirited version of “Polly Wolly Doodle.” For a tune that’s been around since at least 1880, it doesn’t sound too shabby at all. For those of you who love Abby’s music,...

The Slaughter Brothers Band perform their untitled, bluegrass-inspired tune
By their own admission, the Slaughter Brothers have been playing in Asheville for the last few months largely because they were “stranded” here after playing a birthday party. But they don’t seem too bummed about where fate has landed them, and now they’re in town “doing their thing.” Raised in...
