About
Numerous and belligerent, The Fire Ants String Band brings old-time mountain music to Texas Gulf Coast anthills. The Fire Ants are a six-piece string band fusing Houston bluegrass and Appalachian traditions with Texas fiddling and swing. Their repertoire blends traditional tunes with originals about dirt-yard dogs, space worms, and alligator men, delivered with sparkling instrumentation and tight vocal harmonies.
You've probably seen 'em on a farm, in a field, in a barn, or maybe on an actual stage. They're biscuits and gravy in the morning, iced tea on the porch, and a little moonshine at night. But don't hold all this against 'em; they're still a hoot to be around. If you need some good-time music, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can call The Fire Ants.
COME SEE US!
We are thrilled to be performing at this event celebrating Art of the America! This event is for MFAH members only, but you can join here: https://www.mfah.org/membership
