-The Hundred Hand String Band
-Bluegrass/Jam Band/Psychedelic
There’s not a lot simpler than bluegrass music. Pick a subject, write some lyrics about it, come up with a simple melody, learn to diddle a banjo or guitar, find some friends who can do the same thing. Then, do it faster and faster, and you’re playing bluegrass. (Note: This may be a gross oversimplification). Local jammers Hundred Hand String Band do this well. On their MySpace page you’ll find more bluegrass and not as much of the jam/rock stuff. If you like what you hear, check them out tonight at Patton Alley Pub. - GO Magazine

Bio
The Hundred Hand String band is a six-piece ensemble that focuses first and foremost on traditional bluegrass structure, but invites the influence of psychedelic, folk, funk and any other genre that may feel good at the moment. After hosting two private music festivals on Caleb and Jordan's farm in the summer of 2008 and getting great response, the band is proving that this new sound is something that just about anyone can enjoy. The combination of hot picking and percussion based grooves is guaranteed to have even the uninitiated kickin' up a little dirt.
Since hitting the Springfield, Mo scene in early 2009 the band has become a near permanent fixture in the town, playing nearly every weekend in Springfield's clubs. They've shared the stage with acts such as The Spookie Daly Pride, The Station, Madahoochi, and The Chapmans. You may have also seen the name on festival bills with the likes of Particle, the Itals, Dj Logic, and Ozric Tentacles
