The Vicar’s Beard

Some may say that culture is dead in Central Indiana, those particular naysayers are the people that do not listen to WITT. On January 30th, WITT founder Jim Walsh had the pleasure of sharing with his listeners an outstanding group of young musicians known as The Vicar’s Beard. A band featuring former Zionsville High School students, all in college now studying a variety of subjects as well as classical music, with a love for the songs of the Renaissance period.

As culturally invigorating as that may sound, might we mention they also love to tear down the barn playing Bluegrass under the name of Warm Sauce Boat. And that is just what Christopher Burris, Chase Johnson, Joseph Mynhier, Nicholas Burris (twin bro of Chris) and Matt Maher did at the Wapahani Studio. With a variety of traditional and a couple of obscure instruments, Warm Sauce Boat put a hoedown on Jim that nearly sent him doing a jig during the performance and interview. Easy there Jim, we need your golden tones on WITT’s airwaves not cutting a rug on the next edition of Dancing With the Stars.

Look for these guys at the next local Renaissance fair or Bluegrass festival in your area during the summertime, and of course, right here on your own community radio station, WITT, 91.9. Always the place to get WITT it!
