Folk Songs: The Homestead Pickers
The Homestead Pickers from Sliver Dollar City in Branson, MO are a very special collection of four seasoned performers, musicians, comedians, actors, storytellers, and composers. They have many years of experience entertaining audiences both in Branson, Missouri and around the United States, as well as tours of Ireland through the Irish Arts Council. Since 1996 their performing home is the McHaffie Homestead cabin built in 1843 and located on the main street of Silver Dollar City. Their eclctic blend of fiddle, banjo, guitar, hammered dulcimer, and unique vocals depict the early days of American music, bluegrass, gospel, and folk tunes with humor unmatched by any other combination.
