The Foghorns
 

Biography

For coming up on a decade, The Foghorns have been presenting their brand of folk blended with punk-- playing the streets of Reykjavik Iceland with an acoustic, a bucket and an overcoat, the clubs of Brooklyn with bluegrass backup, the rowdy bars of the Midwest with a screeching hollowbody.

Finally settling in Seattle in 2008, the band found a new identity when vocalist Katie Quigley and guitarist and organist Rich Quigley of Blue, Pig signed on.

With the new lineup, The Foghorns released their fifth CD on Wisconsin-based label Beefy Beef Records.

The band tours the US with its full American and Icelandic lineup: Bart Cameron, Katie Quigley, Rich Quigley, Kristjan Oli Petursson, Bara Sigurjonsdottir.

In Europe, Bart Cameron and Katie Quigley perform as a duo, with help from guest musicians.
