Hamfist

Performing in the 2017 Green Show on Wednesday, August 9            

This is their tenth season at the OSF Green Show

Alt-country Americana cowboy folk-blast! Hamfist makes pretty songs purdy

EZ (ukelele, harmonica) likes to stand outside the geek show tent and serenade the Mermaid Girl after he finishes his shift as Tilt O Whirl operator.

THE KID (banjo, dobro, accordion) dropped out of the 8th grade to play piano in a house of ill-repute. 

CLETUS T. CORNHAULER (mandolin, fiddle) operates a moonshine still out of an undisclosed location deep in the Siskiyou Mountains. 

SLIM (bass, guitar) only came over from the old country a few years ago and his English is not so good, but the women swoon when he plays that big bass.

JONNY B (guitar) cooks a mean squirrel stew.

SEQUOIA (guitar) loves chainsaws and big fires. 

BOOTSY (accordion, mandolin) was kicked out of the Baptist Church choir for singing that devil rock n' roll.
