The Too Tall String BandBruce Lawson, Rod Driscoll & Hap Wheeler Celtic, Adirondack & even some Country!
The band celebrated its 28th year of entertaining audiences in 2012 and is looking forward to another year of humor and music in 2013. Over the past year the band has broadened its performances to include more Celtic & English pub tunes which encourages the audience to become part of the music, just like in a traditional pub. There's something for every taste as Too Tall shows its versatility and wide musical influences by doing everything from Celtic songs and fiddle tunes to traditional Adirondack tunes & stories to "roots" country music and even a little bluegrass.
The band has been featured all across the North Country, Southern Quebec and Vermont. Too Tall first performed at the inaugural Watertown Goes Green Irish festival in 1984 and has been a headliner many times since then. The string band has been featured at: the Lake Placid Goodwill Winter Games, the Adirondack Folk Festival, Concerts on the Bluff, the Plattsburgh Mayor’s Cup Celebration, the Battle of Plattsburgh Celebration, Malone Concerts On the Green, Ellenbugh Town Hall Concerts, Peru Gazebo Concerts, The Essex County Fair and has enjoyed performing for many other audiences in the Adirondacks, the Champlain Valley and the Green Mountains. This year "Too Tall" will be featured again at the Battle of Plattsburgh Celebration in September.
We look forward to seeing you at the next Too Tall String Band performance.
The Band has three recordings currently available: our new "While We Are Together" CD (2011), "Goin Home" (1993) and "Live?" (2002). Check out the CD pages for more information, or to place an order for a CD.
