Some of the best traditional American music, blues, gospel, and hillbilly, was recorded on 78 rpm records during the 20s & 30s. The Down Hill Strugglers keep that music alive with new interpretations. An old-time string band based out of Kentucky and Brooklyn, NY, they have released albums on Smithsonian Folkways Recordings and Jalopy Records and are featured on the soundtrack to the Coen Brothers film, "Inside Llewyn Davis" produced by T-Bone Burnett.
This is the third of four events in this year’s John Cohen Memorial Music Series.
