KATTYWOMPUS STRING BAND 

KATTYWOMPUS STRING BAND has rocked the very foundations of the folk music world with hot renditions of traditional favorites from around the world, mixing & redefining the standard folk scene.

Skillfully blending the haunting music of the Hammered Dulcimer with the rhythmic sounds of Mountain Dulcimer, Fiddle, Banjo, Autoharp, Tabla, Guitar & Zagat, that exciting Kattywompus sound is unmistakable. Taking the genre from traditional American & Celtic to new-Middle Eastern in the blink of an eye, audiences thrill to the sounds of pulsating tabla and driving zagat punctuated by the exciting Mid-Eastern call known as zaghareet.

With a strong conviction that traditional music is the “music of the people of many lands” the band's recordings are known for adapting music from around the world in that true Kattywompus style.
