Wayfaring Strangers Story aired: Thursday, December 04, 2003
The band "The Wayfaring Strangers" is a melting pot of musical influences. The nine-person band combines elements of country, folk and bluegrass, with the improvisational freedom of jazz.
On their new album "This Train," they begin the traditional tune "Cluck Old Hen" with a clarinet that sounds more Klezmer than country
The wayfaring strangers recently performed at the Somerville Theater in Massachusetts. Producer Brad Fritz sat in on a rehearsal for the show and spoke with the band's leader.
