Foxfire's siege show revolves around a traditions! bluegrass base, but spins off rock, reggae
and comedy to create an off-beat, engaging performance.
Foxfire pushes bluegrass limits
By Darla Jackson
Emerald Supplement Editor
It is called a bluegrass band, but one encoun
ter with the group Foxfire will convince the lis
tener it is much more
The group incorporates a number of styles,
including rock a-billy. reggae, western swing,
and spiritual music in their innovative approach
to music
Foxfire will take the main stage Friday at 8
p m at the Willamette Valley Folk Festival
The first performance by the band was in
February 1985 We had barely enough material
to do a half-hour performance,” band member
Glenn Freese said However, the group stayed
with it and Foxfire recently released their de
but album, entitled Gone At Last '
Foxfire is Bob Evoniuk. dobro, Larry Bulaich,
banjo, Jeff Jones, mandolin, Freese, guitar and
hammered dulcimer and Leonard Sutton, bass.
All members of the band deliver lead and har
mony vocals.
Foxfire has always been associated with
musical diversity, and they have lived up to that
reputation. The band's motto could be, “What
ever works with these instruments, we'll do it,"
The group has created a style of music they
call "bermuda grass" to label their delivery of
Still the Night," a song written by the rock
group The BoDeans.
No matter what musical label is placed on
the band, the bluegrass roots of Foxfire are un
mistakable The instruments are traditional, the
razor-sharp vocal harmonies are straight out of
the Kentucky hills and the repertoire includes
several bluegrass standards.
However, band members also mix in their
personalities and musical tastes.
A yodeling cowboy named Lost Leroy and a
raunchy group of greasers from the ‘60s called
the Del toids make in-concert appearances
