Mound City Slickers @ STL Art Museum

The Mound City Slickers play old-time string band music, often performing at festivals, house concerts, and contra 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. The band includes Sean Belt (ukuleles), Lindell Blackford (fiddle and mandolin), Rich Hibbs (banjo), Rich Egan (piano), and Keith Dudding (guitar).

They will be performing in Sculpture Hall as part of an exhibition opening – Picturing Independence.  This exhibition marks the semi quincentennial of the signing of the Declaration of Independence by bringing together paintings, prints, sculptures, photographs, textiles, and decorative arts spanning the period 1770 to the 2010s, drawn from the Museum’s collection.
