Welcome to Heard in Humboldt on KHSU, a program where we play a range of live music recordings from Humboldt County.
Today we’ll be hearing some music from an old band some locals are sure to remember, The Fickle Hillbillies. This recording which, we dug out of the internet archives, was captured during a performance at the North Country Fair on the Arcata Plaza, on Sept. 22, 2001. This features band members Rob Johnson on guitar and vocals, John Chapman on guitar, Nick Kloeppel on bass and vocals, John Grippi on keys, Andy Ardel on drums and Fickle Dave Benami on sax.
We’ll hear “All Join Hands" and some of the “The Charlatan.”
Thank you to all the members of the Fickle Hill Billies, to John Chapman who taped the recording, and to everyone involved in the performance and the 2001 North Country Fair.
Thanks for listening to Heard in Humboldt on KHSU and tune in next time, as we explore more live music from behind the redwood curtain.
