The Beers Family was a traditional folk group active between 1958 and 1972, led by Bob Beers (b. 1920 -- d. May 26, 1972) and featuring his wife Evelyne and their daughter Martha (who joined in 1964). They played traditional Scots-Irish music on traditional instruments like the psaltery. In 1966, they began hosting the Fox Hollow Festival on their farm in the Adirondacks. Bob Beers was killed in an automobile accident in 1972, but his wife and daughter continued to perform and to stage the festival.
Track Listing
The water is wide
The golden skein
Devilish Mary
Lonesome dove
Dumbarton's drums
The black haired lass
Haste to the wedding
My love loves
The green grass of Shiloh
The bachelor boy
The lass from the low countree
In my garden grows plenty of thyme
A starry night to ramble
The brave volunteer
