notes
The Homegrown String Band is a twenty-first century incarnation of the traditional family band. The band, which was literally homegrown, consists of Georgianne and Rick Jackofsky and their two daughters, Erica and Annalee.
" Rock Hollow . . . their third and strongest recording. Rick's steady guitar drives tunes such as Train on the Island and Down on my Knees giving daughter Erica a great foundation for her inventive fiddling. His banjo playing is highlighted on Liza Jane and The Ballad of Mary Wyatt. Another standout is the original blues instrumental Ackamarackus by Erica. It once again highlights her fiddling prowess but also features some fine jawharp from sister Annalee and the steady banjo uke of Georgianne. A highly enjoyable recording by a real family band." - Sing Out! magazine, fall 2004
"A talented and unique family. The Homegrown String Band represents all that is good with "Ole Time" music today. The simple joy of a family making music together makes you wish you could be one of them. Once again ranking as one of the most requested bands on the A.F.B.A's festival questionnaire." - Elaine Wexler, The Appalachian Fiddle & Bluegrass Association
". . . superbly talented . . . a warm feeling of camaraderie . . . playing and dancing with an energy that could fill a festival stage. Their devotion to their craft and way of life is obvious, and the audience claps not only for their excellent performance, but for the simple fact that this family is breathing fresh life into the American folk tradition at a time when our nation's roots are so often forgotten." - Sarah Craig, Manager, Caffè Lena
