The Woodhouse Band plays traditional American and Irish music. All selections on this album are instrumental and reflect a wide range of genres from Irish dance tunes to minstrel banjo tunes. This music originates from a time when live music was the only way music was heard. Recording technology now gives access to an incredibly wide range of music. It's refreshing to hear music from earlier times carried forward into the present day, where it still moves listeners with its lasting value.
Michael Randolph - clawhammer banjo, minstrel banjo, chromatic harmonica, and guitar. Veronica Randolph - fiddle. Bridget Randolph - piano. Max Randolph - bass box.

Enjoyable Instrumental Celtic and Americana CD
author: William and the RadioIndy.com Reviewer Team
"Harvest Moon" by The Woodhouse band is a collection of instrumental songs inspired by traditional Celtic and Americana. The band features a lineup of classic instruments including fiddle, banjo and bass box. The combination of the two styles works well for this group. It's a nice variance to the "down home" vibe that the two styles possess. The musicians are all great players and each song has lots of life to it. The quality of the recording is very analog and lends itself to the timelessness of the sound. Highlights include "Off to California," a fiddle and guitar duo that puts you right on board the covered wagon. "St. Louis Blues" features some nice, pleasant piano work and retains the "down home" vibe. "The Star of the Country Down" has a heroic quality to it and is another fiddle and guitar duo. If you like Irish Folk, you'll enjoy this one.
