Snake Oil Medicine Show, a banjo-fiddle power quintet with a live painter, is a dedicated group of artists and musicians from Asheville, North Carolina, who love and respect traditional music, but who also share an even stronger passion to shape its future.
The art and music created by the band are vivid expressions of love. The positive vibrations the band members share with their audiences communicate a sincere belief that through unity, awareness, and spirituality, the world can change for the better. Cultivating a dynamic Art Party wherever they go, the variously textured music of Snake Oil Medicine Show finds old-time Appalachian bluegrass co-existing in delicious harmony with early jazz styles, reggae, post-newgrass instrumental expression, zydeco and warped psychedelia.
SOMS presents colorful, uplifting music that is humorous, yet serious. Bright paint on the canvas of Phil Cheney swirl together with fantastic costumes, positive energy, and a sense of loving family as the band members strive for new levels of artistic expression while consistently letting their roots show.
Though the original purveyors of snake oil medicine may have been hucksters, the fine people of the SNAKE OIL MEDICINE SHOW convey a heart-felt message of Peace Through Music and Art that is absolutely genuine.
And after three years in a row at the High Sierra Music Festival, and a great late-night set at the NW String Summit at Horning's Hideout in June, West Coast Snake Oil fans are demanding more!
So come on y'all, follow your dancing feet and see what everyone is smiling about as the band begins their 16-day tour on Thursday, November 4th, in San Francisco, CA, and winds through the Northwest and back down to Lyons, Colorado on November 19th.
