The Mound City Slickers @ The Focal Point

The Mound City Slickers play old-time string band music with passion, drive, and a great sense of humor.  Hailing from the St. Louis region, The Slickers have played festivals, house concerts and square dances throughout Missouri and Illinois.  Steeped in tradition, their concerts are a unique mix of hard-driving dance tunes, country harmonies, Midwest fiddle tunes, rags, and other surprises that have made them favorites of the old-time string band scene.  Their high-energy playing and ear for a good tune make for good listening, good dancing, and good times. 

The band is Sean Belt (ukuleles), Lindell Blackford (fiddle & mandolin), Rich Hibbs (banjo), Rich Egan (piano), and Keith Dudding (guitar).
