Dear Friends, <br />
<br />
<div>
We are very sorry to announce the passing of our dear friend and bandmate John Cohen (1932 - 2019). John passed away peacefully on Monday evening at his home in Putnam Valley, NY. <br />
<br />
John Cohen was one of the last of the first. His life and work spanned the arc of the “folk song” movement and movement towards traditional music, which he helped to create, here in New York and around the country. His breadth of knowledge and experience will not be seen again and his acuity of thought was remarkable and singular. </div>

<a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/17/arts/music/john-cohen-dead.html">Here is an obituary from the New York Times</a> with more information about John’s life and work. </div>
<div>
<br />
Through his work as a founder of the seminal string band the New Lost City Ramblers, his beautiful photography, films and field recordings and work as a record and concert producer, John Cohen had an indelible impact on American culture. It was not something that was supported by the music industry, and did not happen over night. Rather, the meaning and reach of John’s work continued to build over a long period of time, starting in the mid 1950’s and going up until the present time. His effect cannot be quantified. John’s work and ideas operated at a deep level and were revelatory for a great number of people. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>

<div>
<br />
John Cohen had a feeling and an idea about music, visual art and culture that he followed for his entire life. He advocated for that idea relentlessly across various disciplines for 70 years. If you knew John, you knew that he had a very strong will. His work meant a great deal to him and he was tireless in that work. He also had a seemingly endless supply of great, mostly corny jokes and was always ready for a pun. Oh lord. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
We met John at the home of our mutual friend and musical collaborator Peter Stampfel in 2007. In 2008 we started working with John and we became close friends. He toured the country with us as part of our string band, we played countless shows together. He was a teacher to us as well as a bandmate. We recorded three albums together, and he and Eli worked to produce two albums of historical reissues. </div>

<br /></div>
<div>
Playing music and simply talking with John was a great pleasure. He raised the level of any project he worked on and taught us so much about how to hear, play and think about music. </div>
<div>
<br />
We will always remember cooking with him in his old kitchen at his house, having band practices there, listening to music and to his stories and learning from John.<br />
<br />
We played with John at every Brooklyn Folk Festival since the beginning, as well as at every Washington Square Park Folk Festival, many shows here at the Jalopy Theatre and many more all across the country, including at the Library of Congress, the Kennedy Center, the Newport Folk Festival and more.</div>

<br />
John helped shape the ideas about music and culture that we are working with today. Without John’s work and work by the NLCR and associates such Ralph Rinzler, Izzy Young and others, as well as his work with the Beat Generation poets and writers and more - we would not be doing what we are doing now. We would never have even thought of it. <br />
<br />
John meant a great deal to us as an artist, cultural worker and as a friend. We will miss him very much and continue in the spirit of his work.<br />
<br />
We send our love to his family and many friends around the world. </div>

The Down Hill Strugglers are very excited to let people know that 3 of our songs have been included in the beautiful new film, "<a href="https://variety.com/2019/film/reviews/dreamland-review-margot-robbie-1203212520/">Dreamland</a>."</div>
<br />Dreamland is an 2019 film, directed by Miles Joris-Peyrafitte from a screenplay by Nicolaas Zwart. It stars Margot Robbie, Travis Fimmel, Garrett Hedlund, Kerry Condon, Finn Cole and Darby Camp.<br /><br />The film is set in the dustbowl era of the 1930's in the American South-West and follows two fugitives on the run to Mexico - and it is definitely dreamlike. <br /><br />Thank you to Miles Joris-Peyrafitte, Patrick Higgings and all for including us in this project.DownHillStrugglershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09711581342361803571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8306720995500946347.post-9637727691832141402018-10-26T11:36:00.003-04:002018-10-26T11:36:56.419-04:00Red Dead Redemption 2<iframe allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/HVRzx17WHVk" width="560"></iframe><br />

Check out Eli Smith and Walker Shepard from the Down Hill Strugglers, playing on the score and the in-game music for Red Dead Redemption 2 - which comes out today! It is a truly amazing game, a Western set in 1899.<br /><br /> You will find Eli playing banjo on the game's cinematic score, as well as contributing to the in-game music. In the world of the video game you will hear Eli playing banjo, guitar, jaw harp, mandolin and whistling and Walker playing the fiddle. Eli also arranged and adapted old and traditional songs, re-written to fit the game, and taught the songs to the actors who play the characters... And if you look real close you will find him in the game, in the role of a cowboy, sitting at a campfire playing guitar...<br /><br /> Eli and Walker worked on this game off and on for about 2 1/2 years and are very happy to see it finished and issued to the world. <br /><br /> Says one reviewer:<br /> "If there is anything here in this game that feels actually, genuinely perfect, it's the music."<br /><br /> Says another reviewer:<br /> "Rockstar Games’ new open-world western opus is exhaustively detailed and exhaustingly beautiful, a mammoth construction of which every nook and cranny has been polished to an unnerving shimmer. It is a stirring tribute to our world’s natural beauty, and a grim acknowledgment of our own starring role in its destruction. It tells a worthy and affecting story that weaves dozens of character-driven narrative threads into an epic tapestry across many miles and almost as many months. When the sun sets and the tale has been told, it leaves players with a virtual wild-west playground so convincingly rendered and filled with surprises that it seems boundless."<br /><br /> And another:<br /> "Even more impressive is the selection of original music that references in-game locations and events. Hearing a song about the fictitious city you’re in that references all the other fictitious locations around really helps make the world feel even more alive and connected."DownHillStrugglershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09711581342361803571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8306720995500946347.post-89779039207722474542018-08-01T15:58:00.002-04:002018-08-20T12:06:56.866-04:00Summer & Fall Tour Dates<img alt="Image result for rocky mountains" class="irc_mi" height="251" src="https://s-i.huffpost.com/gen/1357108/images/o-ROCKY-MOUNTAINS-facebook.jpg" style="margin-top: 0px;" width="320" /><br />

<br />
Hello everybody. We've had some requests for more information about the sources that inspired our recent album, <a href="https://downhillstrugglers.bandcamp.com/album/lone-prairie">"Lone Prairie"</a>. We love listening to old string bands from the 1920's and 30's, recorded on 78rpm records, as well as to more recent field recordings and other sources. These recordings filter through our brains and emerge in the music of the Down Hill Strugglers.<br />
<br />Here is a list of the songs on "Lone Prairie" followed by historic recordings that we love listening to. We hope you will find them and enjoy them as much as we do.<br /><br />Side A<br />1. Last Shot Got Him - related to/taking inspiration from the playing of the Mississippi Possum Hunters, also recorded as a guitar song in a different version by Mississippi John Hurt<br />2. Casey Jones - related to/taking inspiration from Wilmer Watts & The Lonely Eagles, also the Skillet Lickers and others<div>
3. Lone Prairie - related to/taking inspiration from "It Won't Be Long Till My Grave Is Made" by Norman Woodlieff/Walter Smith<br />4. John Henry - related to/taking inspiration from George Pegram and many other versions<br />5. Texas Quick Step - related to/taking inspiration from the Redheaded Fiddlers<br />6. St. James Blues - related to/taking inspiration from Bill Sheperd and Dock Boggs<br /><br />Side B<br />1. Seneca Square Dance - related to/taking inspiration from Fiddlin' Sam Long<br />2. Come Over and See Me Sometime - related to/taking inspiration from the Georgia Yellow Hammers<br />3. Goodbye Booze - related to/taking inspiration from Charlie Poole, Mainer's Mountaineers and more<br />4. Going Back to Mexico - related to/taking inspiration from the Carolina Tar Heels<br />5. Stone Rag - related to/taking inspiration from Paul Warmack's Gully Jumpers<br />6. Sally Ann - related to/taking inspiration from Frank Blevins & His Tar Heel Rattlers</div>
<div>
7. Three Way Medley - related to/taking inspiration from Joe Sharp & Band and others</div>
<div>
<br /> Included below is Amanda Petrusich's wonderful essay that she contributed for the liner notes on the back of the album:</div>
<div>
<a name='more'></a><br /><b><u>Liner Notes for "Lone Prairie" by The Down Hill Strugglers</u></b><br /><br />Nostalgia is a tireless engine – it’s easy to gaze backward with glassy eyes, saluting the past for its saner pace and less rickety values and non-virtual pleasures. If all you’re looking for in the music of yesteryear is a reprieve from the modern condition, it’s not difficult to find peace there. The Down Hill Strugglers, a three-man old-time string band currently from New York, Louisiana, and Kentucky, recognize the strange, often unmediated beauty of the old songs. But it’s their deep understanding of this material – the landscapes that first suggested its shape, the people who chiseled those shapes into form – that makes them much more than a revival act. Listening to their records, I think often of a stanza from the poet Peter Gizzi: “It was nothing / to no longer / suffer, trilling, / this world / is artifice, / your world / is artifice.”<br /></div>
<div>
Lone Prairie was recorded in the spring of 2016 at the Jalopy Theatre in Red Hook, Brooklyn – one of the warmest, best and only folk clubs in New York City. The band used two microphones, and played directly into a mono Nagra one-quarter-inch tape machine. They either ducked away from or leaned toward the mic to get their sound levels right. Then they stopped monkeying with the recording altogether, which is surely part of why it feels so pure and urgent. It is energizing in the way that looking at a river is energizing. <br /><br />So what does it mean for a young band to make music like this right now? Our cultural moment certainly allows for (if not encourages) gratuitous elevation of the Self above all – but the Down Hill Strugglers think about their work differently. Each of these tracks takes inspiration from the rural visionaries of the early twentieth century, from the melodies and expressions that once guided and sustained whole communities in the Mountain South, the Deep South, and Way Out West. Lone Prairie is an earnest monument to the rural artists and songs this band loves: the Mississippi Possum Hunters, the Skillet Lickers, Bill Shepherd and Dock Boggs, the Carolina Tar Heels, Frank Blevins, George Pegram, Wilmer Watts, and many others. Using lovingly excavated 78 r.p.m. discs as source material – Walker, Jackson, and Eli disappear inside these tunes. In this way, the Strugglers become part of a continuum. Their performance is less about ardent self-expression and more about empathy, of finding a way in to other people’s anguish and elation: understanding it, bodying it anew, respecting it, and carrying it on. They pay homage to and remake in equal measure, as artists have been doing for centuries. This, I believe, is the best and most useful work a folk musician can hope to do. <br />- Amanda Petrusich<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div>

<!--StartFragment--><span style="font-family: "times"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The album features 13
all new recordings from the band and liner notes by Amanda Petrusich,
contributing writer for The New Yorker, Pitchfork and a contributing editor at
The Oxford American. Her music and culture writing has also appeared in
The New York Times, The Atlantic, Spin, BuzzFeed, and she is the author of “Do
Not Sell At Any Price: The Wild, Obsessive Hunt for the World’s Rarest 78rpm
Records”. Petrusich has written that “The Down Hill Strugglers are, to my
ears, the very best interpreters of traditional material presently going.”<br />
<br />
From the liner notes:<br />
“Lone Prairie was recorded in the spring of 2016 at the Jalopy Theatre in Red
Hook, Brooklyn. The band used two microphones, and played directly into a
mono Nagra one-quarter-inch tape machine. They either ducked away from or
leaned toward the mic to get their sound levels right. Then they stopped
monkeying with the recording altogether, which is surely part of why it feels
so pure and urgent. It is energizing in the way that looking at a river is
energizing.”<br />
<br />
“So what does it mean for a young band to make music like this right now? Our
cultural moment certainly allows for (if not encourages) gratuitous elevation
of the Self above all – but the Down Hill Strugglers think about their work
differently. Each of these tracks takes inspiration from the rural visionaries
of the early twentieth century, from the melodies and expressions that once
guided and sustained whole communities in the Mountain South, the Deep South,
and Way Out West. Lone Prairie is an earnest monument to the rural artists and
songs this band loves: the Mississippi Possum Hunters, the Skillet Lickers,
Bill Shepherd and Dock Boggs, the Carolina Tar Heels, Frank Blevins, George
Pegram, Wilmer Watts, and many others. Using lovingly excavated 78 r.p.m. discs
as source material – Walker, Jackson, and Eli disappear inside these tunes. In
this way, the Strugglers become part of a continuum. Their performance is less
about ardent self-expression and more about empathy, of finding a way in to
other people’s anguish and elation: understanding it, bodying it anew,
respecting it, and carrying it on. They pay homage to and remake in equal
measure, as artists have been doing for centuries. This, I believe, is the best
and most useful work a folk musician can hope to do.”</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">"Treasures From the Archive Roadshow" at the Kennedy Center</span></div>
with the Down Hill Strugglers, John Cohen and Jerron "Blindboy" Paxton<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
We've had a great Summer of touring, lots of great shows including appearances at the Newport Folk Festival, Vancouver Folk Festival, Great Lakes Folk Festival, three appearances at the Library of Congress!! and a great show at the Kennedy Center.<br />
<br />
<div>
At Newport and at the Kennedy Center we were presenting the "Treasures From the Archive Roadshow" playing music that we have learned from the collections at the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress. It's a great show and has been a real pleasure working with the fine folks at the AFC to bring music from their collections live to audiences around the country, including a wonderful show at the Library itself. The complete 1 hour program we did at the Kennedy Center was filmed very nicely, and here it is available for viewing, just click the image above. <br />

<br />
The Down Hill Strugglers is proud to be a part of the forthcoming "Treasures from the Archive Roadshow: Celebrating Alan Lomax & The Folk Music Collections at the Library of Congress" - an outreach program of the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress.<br />
<br />
<div>
The idea is that The Down Hill Strugglers, John Cohen (of the New Lost City Ramblers), Jerron "Blindboy" Paxton, Nathan Salsburg (Curator of the Alan Lomax Archive) and others will tour festivals, performing arts centers, colleges and universities, playing live renditions of songs and styles learned directly from the collections at the Library of Congress. The Roadshow is also accompanied where appropriate by a museum quality panel display with more information about the American Folklife Center as well as a presentation of folklore-related films from the collections there. <br />
<br />
The intention of this project is to bring the beautiful diversity of music, songs and styles, faithfully preserved in this amazing archive, out to the general public. The Roadshow will raise awareness about the existence of the Folklife Center itself and encourage people to take advantage of this amazing resource, just as we have. By touring and playing live for audiences the Roadshow can introduce people in a live and immediate way to some of the kinds of songs and styles laid away by folklorists and collectors in this deep repository of our grassroots indigenous American music.<br />
<br />
The "Roadshow" honors the folk music collections at the Library of Congress and particularly in 2015 the seminal work of folklorist Alan Lomax who would have been 100 years old this year, and whose unparalleled collecting work formed the basis for the American Folklife Center's holdings.<br />
The first exhibition and performance of the Roadshow will take place <a href="http://www.brooklynfolkfest.com/lineup/">Sunday, April 19th at the Brooklyn Folk Festival</a>, with more performances TBA over the coming months.<br />
<br /></div>

<b><b><br /></b></b>
<b>Here is more information about the "Roadshow" -</b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The American Folklife Center was created in 1976 by the U.S. Congress as the national center for folklife documentation and research, with the mandate to "preserve and present American folklife." The American Folklife Center Archive, established in the Library of Congress Music Division in 1928 and moved to AFC in 1978, is now one of the largest archives of ethnographic materials from the United States and around the world.</div>
<div>
The Treasures from the Archive Roadshow is an outreach program of the American Folklife Center in conjunction with the Alan Lomax Archive/Association for Cultural Equity. This roadshow will be touring festivals, colleges, universities and performing arts centers starting in 2015.<br />
<br />
Famed folklorist Alan Lomax would have been one hundred years old in 2015. The field recordings that he made throughout his long career are the foundation of the holdings at the American Folklife Center, and as such are at the very heart of America’s indigenous, grassroots folk music, including blues, rural string band music, ballads, ragtime and more.<br />
<br />
This roadshow draws together nationally recognized folk musicians who play songs and tunes they have learned directly from the Lomax Collection and other important collections at the American Folklife Center. These performers will present this music live to audiences nationally in Lomax’s centennial year.<br />
<br />
The roadshow includes; The Down Hill Strugglers with legendary musician and folklorist John Cohen (of the New Lost City Ramblers), Jerron “Blindboy” Paxton, Frank Fairfield, Dom Flemons (formerly of the Carolina Chocolate Drops) and Lomax Archive curator Nathan Salsburg. These performers will be touring together with a traveling exhibit, showcasing the collections housed at the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress, with a focus on the Lomax Collection. Through live performances and the traveling exhibit, the general public will be informed about the existence of the holdings at the American Folklife Center; a national treasure to which every American has access.</div>
