As far back as aught-two, the legendary Flanks have been playing in and around New York, converting everyone within shouting distance to belief in their all-spit-and-no-polish country jug band stylings. Half of their songs are originals, half are forgotten old-time gems, and most are about rural life, drugs, or trying to pick up recently divorced women. They say it isn't easy being the hardest working band in show business. That's why the Flanks don't even try.

The Flanks are:
Nat Bouman: double bass
Tom Bouman: guitar, mandolin, banjo
Nick Capodice: harmonica, accordion
Margaret Mitchell: viola
Danny Mulligan: guitar, faux-bro
Everyone: vocals

 

"The Flanks are sort of like post-war Blind Willie McTell meets pre-A Star Is Born Kris Kristofferson meets Jimmie Rodgers without the tuberculosis. In other words, you don't want to miss them."
                                                        --Sarah "Seven Plate" Almond of The Conway Twitty Death Probe
