Over the past 20 years, Caleb Klauder and Reeb Willms have emerged as the first couple of old-time string band and traditional country music in the Pacific Northwest. They’ve made themselves staples through their duo act, Klauder’s self-named band, and the origin of their renown, the almost 25-year-old Foghorn Stringband. From its origins in Portland, OR, Foghorn integrated Appalachian, Southeastern, and Cajun traditions, stirring up propulsive energy whether in a tavern, a dance hall, or a performing arts center. Reeb plays guitar, Caleb the mandolin. Fiddling comes from Sammy Lind, while Nadine Landry, a French Canadian, brings driving bass and keening vocals. They are festival favorites and an ideal example of pre-bluegrass folk music done right.
