About | Bios | Sounds | Appearances | E-mail


Thompsons' String Ticklers is a new group that has come together to explore their shared interest in the fast, wild ragtime and slinky, slippery blues of the 1920’s and 30’s, inspired by recordings from The East Texas Serenaders, The Stripling Brothers, Fiddlin' Doc Roberts and many more. Fiddle, cello, banjo-uke, two guitars and mandolin combine to create an unusual instrumental texture that evokes a long-gone era of bobbed hair, moonshiners, and Model T Fords. Suzy Thompson's new CD, "No Mockingbird", features many tunes of this ilk, and she delves even deeper into the same territory with the String Ticklers. Like so many great bands, this one was the result of an impromtu jam session on a warm summer night that was so much fun that a band was born!

Thompsons' String Ticklers are: Suzy Thompson, fiddle & vocals (Bluegrass Intentions, Blue Flame Stringband, Any Old Time, California Cajun Orchestra, etc.), Dan Warrick, guitar & vocals (The Earl White Band), Eric Thompson, guitar (Bluegrass Intentions, Blue Flame, Calif. Cajun Orchestra, Black Mountain Boys, etc.), David Murray, mandolin (The Squirrelly Stringband), Dan Kluger, banjo-uke (Kjammers) and Ben Sigelman, cello.

Thompson's String Ticklers will be appearing (as part of the San Francisco Bluegrass & Old Time Festival) on Fri. Feb. 27, at the Noe Valley Ministry. For more info, see the SFBOT website:
