Portland, Oregon’s Foghorn String Band brought their old-style interpretations of old-time music Saturday night to Floyd’s home that form of music with a concert and dance at the Country Store.

The fans and dancers included several Jamboree regulars and some newcomers who ventured out in the fog and wet conditions.

I went to the evening with my still cameras — a Canon EOS-1 DX and a Canon 5D Mark III but the visuals and music required capture in motion and, thankfully, the 5D’s ability to shoot good quality video delivered.

A lot of fun on a cool, rainy Saturday night in Floyd — in some ways a perfect setting for a band named for a foghorn.
