The Scrips - Ship and Anchor - Rehearsal 03-18-14

Okay, we're breaking down and succumbing to the completely expected cover song for every band with a bass fiddle. People ask us to play it everywhere we go. I will admit, in its most pure form, it a darn good song, and the harmonies on this short chorus/teaser ain't half bad.

Song written by Brad Wofford

Rice Queen

The Scrips are a four piece string band with an indie-rock heart;  writing original music inspired by Old-Time, Folk & Bluegrass. From darkened Mountain Modal banjo to high-lonesome voices, The Scrips are raw acoustic music with mythical Appalachian origins.

New music played in a forgotten genre. Some songs are lively and square-dance-able and others are almost trance-like with darkened ringing banjo drones intertwined with bowed strings and melancholy verse.

Brad Wofford, one of the main contributors to the indie rock band The Southern Sea, spent two years learning the Old Time style of Clawhammer banjo playing. The assembled The Scrips.
