Gordie MacKeeman and His Rhythm Boys
Performer Category: Music Act
There’s no other band around like Gordie MacKeeman and His Rhythm Boys.
Led by fiddling wiz Gordie “Crazylegs” MacKeeman, this roots quartet features all-star pickers and singers, playing everything from down-home country to reckless rockabilly to intricate bluegrass.
The band has spent the past years exciting crowds all over the world, from Denmark’s Tonder Festival and the U.K.’s Glastonbury and Cambridge Folk Festivals, to Merlefest in North Carolina and the Port Fairy Folk Festival in Australia. Crowds love them everywhere they go, thanks to Gordie’s charm, his flying fiddle and feet as well as the band’s unique blend of just about every roots genre going. They love it all, old and new, and put on a variety show that has the fans dancing, laughing and singing along.
Along the way, they have collected a mantle full of awards and recognitions. Included in these prestigious awards is the John Lennon Songwriting Award for his new children’s album Folk for Little Folk Volume 1.
