SLO County Stumblers

  • The Harrison 28 Harrison Street London, England, WC1H 8JF United Kingdom (map)

The SLO County Stumblers are an energetic American string band based in California’s Central Coast. The band features fiddler Casy Meikle, guitarist David Baine, banjo player Daniel Bohlman, and Jerry James on bass.

The Stumblers play hard-driving old time fiddle tunes and spirited songs, heavily influenced by the golden-era string bands of the 1920s and 30s. Their performance is filled with humorous stories and banter and is guaranteed to get feet moving across the dance floor. 

"The SLO County Stumblers are an explosive and electrifying old-time string band in the purest sense. They knocked me on my ass the first time I heard them. They've got it...the ever-elusive "it" that you'll find in the string bands of old and in a handful of modern string bands that are deeply in love with old-time music. The Stumblers are high-energy, tight-as-hell, fun, driving, and equally at home with scorching fiddle tunes AND the classic old-time song repertoire. Their soul-stirring vocals, killer clawhammer, booming bass, and ripping rhythm guitar will make you beg these words when you hear them: please don't stop!!!!" -David Bragger, Old Time Tiki Parlor

"Old Time is alive and well in the hands of SLO County Stumblers who bring the drive and grit stringband music deserves. They strike the perfect balance of taking the music seriously without taking themselves too seriously. It’s clear they have a rollicking good time playing with each other. Lend your ears a spell and good times will ensue."-Brad Kolodner, Folk Alley and Bluegrass Country Radio.
