The Debfibulators

The Defibs are Brooklyn’s kings of alt-country—just minus the “alt.” This is true, fiddle-driven Americana here. Their honest spin on rootsy bluegrass is refreshing and fun. With all the proggy pretenses stripped away and no pesky Jim O’Rourke-types complicating their sound, the Defibulators transport you to a Louisiana porch where ma’s vittles kiss the air and a washboard ain’t just for cleanin’.

Don’t be quick to label the Defibs revivalists though—their sound is as fresh as it is traditional. The New Yorker branded them “citibilly,” the perfect name for a band that’s equal parts Mast Brothers chocolate and down-home possum pie.

We had a blast at the Ossipee Valley Music Festival last weekend.
We played a rager of a barn dance on Saturday night and met some great Mainers.
One of them was photojournalist, Greta Rybus who asked us for an impromptu interview for her website.
Read the interview and see her pictures at Who I Met.
Thanks Greta!

Listen to an audio feature about the barn dance on NHPR.
