Bootleg Prophets
Mountain skylines and the passage of time mark the journey of the Bootleg Prophets, travelers of the great Southwest and the four corners of this country who desire nothing more than to peddle their wares as they march on. Wares that manifest themselves in the act of fingertip touching metal, metal reverberating against wood, and sound falling from the hollow bodies of pieces of art conceived long before these three ever thought to pick them up.
Drawing from blues and bluegrass, western swing, country and western, folk and rock and roll, the Bootleg Prophets play their own blend of American roots music infused with the spicy flavor of the Southwest, the earnest twang of the South, the enveloping freshness of the Pacific Northwest, and the blue collar honesty of the Northeast.
Winners of the 2008 Specialty Duets Contest at the Four Corners Bluegrass Festival, Bootleg Prophets are Dave Devlin on dobro, mandolin, guitar and banjo, vocalist Cathy Faber on bass, and vocalist/songwriter Aimee Hoyt on rhythm guitar.
