DCSC: Flophouse Follies

Flophouse Follies is an invitation to slip through the velvet curtains of time and into a world brimming with jingle and jangle. Lamps flicker on polished mahogany, the laughter of corseted belles melds with the syncopated rags tinkering out of calliopes. Musk and ambergris, tobacco and brandy perfume the air where dandies try to outdo each other with quips and cranks.

This Berkshire based trio conjures a bygone era with parlor ballads, novelty songs and vaudeville satires. Flophouse Follies combine the forces of Heather Fisch on vocals, uke and accordion, Kip Beacco six string guitar and Alex Harvey on tenor banjo and mandriolla

Flophouse Follies revive the spirit of an age when pop songs first rose to the level of mass cultural myths. From the whimsical to the crooked – the follies will tickle your fancy and make you nostalgic for something you didn’‘t even know you were missing.
