#introduction ! The Capharnaum County Magicians Society is an evolving one-ban band, inspired by 5-string banjo music of the 19th century and filtered through various decades of the 20th.
Old music for new instruments, and new music for old instruments. Gas lights and Edison bulbs, Phonograph cylinders and theremins, moustache wax and tobacco.
My name is Andy Chase, and I'll be your Master of Ceremonies. I'm better known on the fediverse (if at all) as @ItsTheManOnTheMoon .
Please do have a listen and follow us at https://magicians.bandcamp.com. #mastomusic #musiciansofmastodon #bandsofmastodon #banjo
Really would have liked to see this staging!
