Dry Branch Fire Squad has been a staple in the traditional bluegrass world for over 40 years now, with singer/songwriter/instrumentalist/comedian Ron Thomason leading the way. As the only band to have played every single Gettysburg Bluegrass Festival, it’s clear to see why Dry Branch Fire Squad performs annually at many of the nation’s premier festivals such as Grey Fox, Festival of the Bluegrass and Hardly Strictly to name just a few.
Dry Branch provides thoughtful harmony lines that give expression to the soulfulness and meaning of bluegrass and old-time music. With impeccable timing and musicianship as well as Ron’s social commentary, catchy lyrics and song choices from the oldest traditions makes Dry Branch Fire Squad one of the most entertaining bands in bluegrass.
” (Thomason’s) brilliant on-stage humor, his abiding commitment to taking his intelligence ever deeper into the sources and meaning of the music, and the intensity of his singing – he has an unerring sensibility for what brought many of us to bluegrass and old-time music.”
