Trachtenburg Family Slide show Players
with opening act Lady Blanche

An internationally acclaimed family band--perfect for our family venue, though admittedly a bit different from our typical bluegrass family band. The Trachtenburgs, out of New York, bring a big-city multi-media show to Fountain as part of their latest U.S. tour. Mama Tina will show us slides while dad on guitar and keyboards and daughter Rachel on drums sing original songs about folks they know only from collections of family slides they've found orphaned at yard sales and junk shops.

Here's how Jason Trachtenburg described his family's music in a recent San Francisco Chronicle profile: "We're an indie, vaudeville, conceptual art, pop-rock, family slide-show band. We deal in found slide collections and turn the lives of anonymous dead strangers into pop rock musical exposes of lives they've never led. We reinterpret their lives and business meetings through the miracle of pop music."

They also have a lot of fun, as you can tell by checking out any of their many videos available on you.tube.

The Trachtenburgs make family fun in Fountain tonight!
