The
Bristol Boys
Hip. Edgy. Ironic. Those are three words you'll never hear
to describe the Bristol Boys, purveyors of traditional
country music - the country music that you won't hear on the
local modern country station.
Evoking The Bristol Sessions, where the big bang of country
music occurred in 1927, the Boys enjoy putting their spin on
songs of Jimmie Rodgers, The Carter Family, Roy Acuff, Hank
Williams and more.
The Bristol Boys are:
Dave Orlomoski, guitar and vocals; Dave Aston, bass, and
Matt Nozzolio, dobro and vocals. The group is preparing to
release its first cd this fall.
The band members are alumni of some of New England's top
bluegrass and acoustic groups, including Traver Hollow, Amy
Gallatin and Stillwaters and Bear Bridge Band.
