Deep Thicket Dwellers are a four‑piece ensemble originating from Alaska and Virginia, now based in Oakland, California. Their music weaves together Bluegrass, Old‑time, Gypsy Jazz, and the playful ingenuity of John Hartford into a distinctive style best described as Hillbilly Jazz. With the fiddle at the heart of their sound, they deliver dynamic, high‑energy performances that inspire foot‑stomping revelry.
The band features:
Tarah Williams—flat-footing, clogging, snare drum, and lead vocals; Forrest Allen—fiddle and vocals; Tom Edler—bass; and Mark Ignatius–guitar and vocals.
