Ebony Hillbillies-Herald Square Station, NYC
On the way to a shoot I had the pleasure of hearing the Ebony Hillbillies play in the subway. They're a string/bluegrass group that definitely need to be checked out. And good luck not tapping your foot when you come across these gents. The crowd had no idea how to deal with these down home black folks getting their "country on." Hell, for many, it was a shock to the system. The sad thing is that most people don't realize that this music was a HUGE part of the black experience during the early 20th century. Yes, us colored folks don't just do R&B and hip-hop. I know, what a crazy concept...
