The String Chickens String Band

Trina Clickner, David Russell, Mark Weeg and Fred Vieira play tunes together in and around Rochester NY as the "String Chickens". We play bluegrass, old-time, American, Scottish, Irish, and pretty much any old tune. Some newer ones, too. This is our e-roosting spot and a way to share things we like. Check out Mark's Mel Bay Book and our Noteworthy Tunes - if you like garlic, put "The Garlic Waltz" on your list of "learnin' tunes" and buy Trina's book, " A Miscellany of Garlic".
