Fishtraks recording artists, /The Radio Gang/, will be appearing at The Great Falls Balloon Festival this year! /The Radio Gang/, a group of veteran musicians, is winning acclaim from fans and critics for its live performance and recordings of vintage American Country radio music from the 1930’s and 1940’s. Their rousing renditions of classic melodies recapture the mood of a period in American history when folks gathered on a Saturday evening around the radio and the popular music told stories of their lives. /The Radio Gang/ presents a rich and varied program that appeals to young and old -- spirited fiddle tunes; gospel ; train songs; shout tunes, traditional bluegrass; and ballads that tell tales of the
Depression, of heartbreak and of love. The performance is as educational as it is entertaining, with historical notes about the music and the times. The group includes Mac McHale on the guitar, banjo, mandolin; John Roc on mandolin, dobro, and guitar, Sally Roc on the stand-up bass, and Herman McGee on the guitar and 5-string banjo. http://www.radiogang.com
