FOGHORN DUO, HUCK NOTARI
(Mississippi Studios, 3939 N Mississippi) Caleb Klauder and Stephen “Sammy” Lind have branched off old-time bluegrass ensemble Foghorn Stringband to record the Lonesome Song album on their own. Appropriately enough, they call themselves Foghorn Duo, and if you’ve ever spent a moment with Foghorn Stringband’s authentic folksy revival, you’re going to like the duo just as much. It’s timeless music, played with guitar and fiddle, with occasional mandolin and banjo, and it’ll shake loose some long-dormant part of your ancestral soul to get you thinking about traveling railway lines, or courting fair young maidens, or minding how you’re going to feed your trusty horse, let alone yourself. The songs are mostly standards, with the occasional original seamlessly thrown in, but it’s no time warp—Foghorn Duo’s pickin’ and singin’ anchors you perfectly in this precise moment of being alive. This is the second-to-last show ever in the original Mississippi Studios before they rip it down to rebuild a venue three times bigger and better. NL
