The Oldtime String Band was originally formed as a musical backdrop to a documentary about the cow-painter, Ruud Spil.
Both the musicians and the audience enjoyed it so much that the band is now on a stampede.
The Oldtime String Band not only plays Bluegrass and Old-Time music but is also inspired by American folk music from the 1940's and modern music with an Old-Time feel.
