Kutztown Folk Music Society

The Drukenmillers

Probably the best family folk band in the greater Lehigh Valley, and even further, these people will take you back to the "good old days." Picture yourself on your neighbors back porch, or the annual church picnic, or that old time festival you heard so much about. Listen to all those strings played with different tones, in different styles, and on different instruments.

Father Tom is the BEST old-timey banjo player in many counties. he also picks a mean guitar (studied with Norman Blake.) He has a radio program every Wednesday at 7:00 PM on WDIY, 88.1 FM, and is Folk Program Coordinator. He also is an expert on sound systerms and p.a.'s.

Wife Betty picked up the fiddle at a later age (over 21,) and started digging into old-time fiddle tunes. She studied with some of the best old-time fiddlers in West Virginia, at the Augusta workshops (ask her, she'll tell you.)

Son Nathan (handsome, talented, creative, young and single!!!) started on Suzuki violin. He now plays fiddle, mandolin, guitar, banjo and some things eve HE can't describe!

The Drukenmillers have appeared at many places, including the Augusta Festival, Mayfair, Godfrey Daniels, Lyons Fiddle Fest, Gene Shay's radio program (Philly,0 Borders Bookstore and the Kutztown Folk Music Society. They just released their latest CD a few months ago. Come here them release some down home music, and don't forget your valentine!
