THESE ARE OUR BANDS
Anti-folkers The Foghorns began in 2001 with Bart Cameron
bringing songs written in Wisconsin to Brooklyn New York for
various strange performances, mainly with the help of Brooklyn
bluegrass band The Cobble Hillbillies. The band released two
albums in New York.
When Bart moved to Iceland in 2003 as a Fulbright Fellow,
he revamped the band and toured Iceland using the moniker.
In Iceland, Bart released a bucket and guitar folk album, So Sober.
The band, still with bucket percussion, performed across Iceland
including performing twice at Iceland Airwaves, at Innipukinn, and
more than a 100 other performances across the island.
In 2006, Bart moved to Seattle, Washington. The Foghorns
were eventually reformed. With Katie and Rich Quigley, they
recorded "A Diamond as Big as the Motel Six" in 2009. The tour
that supported that CD took the band to Iceland, England, Scotland,
Denmark and Sweden, along with a 42-stop cross country US tour.
In 2011, The Foghorns released their seventh full length CD, "To the Stars on the Wings
of a Pig," their first full-length LP on vinyl (thanks to Knick Knack Records).
The lineup has changed again.
Now ranging from a three-piece to an eight-piece, the core now
features Bart Cameron, Jason Kopec (a converted taiko drummer
performing on pots, pans, and sometimes drums), and
accordionist/ pianist Peter Colclasure, along with a number of
other Seattle-based musicians.
