| BIOGRAPHY: |

What do you get when you combine Harry and Eric Aceto, guitarist and six-string
violinist of DjugDjango with Bobby Henrie and Brian Williams, guitarist/vocalist
and bassist of the Goners? You get a top-notch gypsy jazz/bop band with
a supremely logical name: the DjanGoners. And, in case there's anyone
left in the world who does not know, the group explores the wonderful
'dgenre' of music associated with the great gypsy jazz guitarist Django
Reinhardt.
Violinist/luthier Eric Aceto, proprietor of Ithaca Stringed Instruments;
and his brother Harry, best known as a bass player (but he also plays
guitar, banjo and mandolin & toured with Jay Ungar & Molly Mason,
Tim O’Brien, Martin Simpson and more) are part of the Djug Django
gang, Ithaca’s Django Reinhardt tribute band. On bass, Brian ”Wildman”
Williams started with the Swamp Root Stringband, toured with bluesman
John Mooney, and has played for years with Bobby Henrie & the Goners.
Bobby Henrie, in addition to fronting the Goners, plays in the bluegrass
band Cornerstone and was part of the original Henrie Brothers band.
All four are united in their love for Django and his music. |
