Great Songwriter

Posted about 5 years ago
Darren Schlappich is the front man and primary singer and songwriter of the Pennsylvania group Frog Holler. These guys deviate a lot from the type of music I usually listen to, but the songwriting is so great it's hard to not like them. Initially a bluegrass trio, they have evolved into a 6 piece band, playing what some would call alt-country, but is actually much more than that. In concert, these guys are still playing for over 2 1/2 hours for under 10 dollars, a better entertainment value to be found nowhere. When they're wielding their five stringed instruments at you under full power, it's a truyly joyful noise. Electric guitar, bass, pedal steel guitar, mandolin, electric banjo, switching leads and harmony. But what sets them apart is the songwriting of Darren.For example, take this song...Ain't a good liarNever beenPeople always saying my pants are on fireWhen I'm holding a good hand or I'm going to bustI'm not going to transcribe all the words. Take a listen and see for yourself.
