Rabbit Hash String Band

"Just two hops and a jump" from the Ohio River in Rabbit Hash, Kentucky, and not a "fur piece" from Cincinnati, the Rabbit Hash String Band is pickin' tunes.

The band developed from a shared love that these long-time old-time friends have for the 1920s and '30s music of Gid Tanner and his Skillet Lickers band.

Russ and Barb Childers live in Batavia, Ohio, and primarily present old timey music to area school children. Warren and Judy Waldron live in Somerville, Ohio, but play and call square dances all over the region. Tommy Taylor lives in Rabbit Hash and performs with a bluegrass gospel band. His brother was the beloved 1930s WJJD Chicago country radio personality Pappy Taylor of Uncle Henry Warren's Kentucky Mountaineers Band.

The Rabbit Hash String Band features the twin fiddles of Tommy Taylor and Warren Waldron, the clawhammer banjo of Russ Childers, and Judy Waldron and Barb Childers round out the sound on guitar and banjo uke. All members, without warning, have been known to belt out a song.

Any evening spent with the Rabbit Hash String Band is a good time -- and their fun-loving music will transport the listener back in time:

Rabbit Hash, Kentucky, is where I long to be; cornbread, and 'lasses, and sassafras tea...
