Podcast #97: Vinegar Creek Constituency and Skirtin' the Curtain with Joanna Underhill

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

The Vinegar Creek Constituency has been a Lancaster music scene staple for over a half dozen years. The band plays with bluegrass instrumentation, but provides audiences with a very high energy rock ‘n roll attitude mixing American roots music from bluegrass to gypsy jazz to blues, rock, and country.
Leo DiSanto, guitarist, vocalist, and primary songwriter in Vinegar Creek, joined me for a chat about the band’s latest album, Don’t Go Back in Time. The album was recorded live to tape at Right Coast Recording here in Lancaster County and was released this past January. Other members of the band include Mark Rast on banjo, Pete DiVitry on fiddle, and Jeff Bryson on mandolin and lead vocals on a handful of songs.
Along with full band shows, Leo and Jeff often perform on the road or at smaller local gigs as the Vinegar Creek Duo, and Leo also occasionally performs solo. You can find all of their tour dates on the band’s website and download a copy of Don’t Go Back in Time.
