Boulder Acoustic Society, Tom Hagerman, Impromptu, Hunker Down, and Greg Tanner Harris at Swallow Hill Music Association
Colorado's Boulder Acoustic Society dabbles in unplugged traditional music from Appalachia's porches to Ireland's barstools. This might not make for a particularly original sound, except when the band mixes some punk-rock ranting into its warm and well-balanced ensemble of fiddles, ukulele, banjo, guitar, and upright bass. It also helps that BAS embraces percussion more than a more traditional string band would, lending some extra thump and heft to its 2009 album, Punchline.
