Old-time American string band music for dancing and listening. Southern, midwestern and western tunes and songs combine in a traditional sound unique to this band from San Francisco's North Bay Area.
Bio / Background
"The Roadoilers" is an old-time string band playing square dance and contra dance music, traditional country singing, ragtime, and Irish traditional music. Fiddles, banjos, guitars, bass and bagpipes are the intruments. John, Perry, Chuck and Mike have played together in various combinations for over 30 years, forming The Roadoilers several years ago. Taken together, the band has over 160 years of experience playing old-time and bluegrass music.
John Pedersen was born in Upstate New York, the grandson of a fiddler. He started playing banjo at age 13 and began playing for dances not long after that. Prior to the Roadoilers, John played with Fennigs All Stars, the Swamp Root String Band, the Arkansas Sheiks, and Highballers from the Planet Hell. John is a luthier and has worked at musical instrument repair in New York, Toronto, San Francisco, and now at his own store, Amazing Grace Music in San Anselmo.
