They are covers Jim, but not as we know them! Sex Pistols on a banjo? Radiohead as a waltz? A Bluegrass Stormzy?! Has the world gone mad...? Fear not dear reader it’s just the legendary Arkansaw Jukebox Collective - playing covers just like god intended... bluegrass style!The moving feast of humanity that is the Arkansaws (girls, blokes, fiddles, banjos, trumpets - just play what y'brung!) deliver a show stopping performance with covers of very well-known numbers (cue the big sing-a-long!) but with a real twist as they unearth the hidden country heart in EVERY genre of music. Rock, pop, hip-hop, dance, rap – they all get the treatment!Think Hayseed Dixie fronted by The Dixie Chicks and you are getting close!Exceptionally clever re-workings, great playing, lush 4 part harmonies come together to deliver full on foot-stompers all the way and no one gets out without smiling – come on you’ve always wanted to know what a bluegrass rap sounded like!!
