Busking Seattle: Dysfunction Junction Bluegrass Band –\u00a0 Lake City Farmers Market<\/p>\n
22 June 2023<\/p>\n
Dysfunction Junction is an entity centered around washtub bassist Patrick Ferris, who assembles ensembles from a fluid stable of rotating musicians according to whatever gig he pulls out of his hat.\u00a0 (bonus challenge: what is easier to envision, a fluid stable or a rotating musician?) This particular one is the “Bluegrass Band”.\u00a0 Harris’s instrument is no ordinary washtub; it’s a custom built tuneable three-stringer with a protruding horn (poorly captured, seen at the bottom of the sketch).\u00a0 Apparently only two of its kind were constructed before the maker gave it up as an unsustainable enterprise.\u00a0 All three musicians are singers, and mastery of the bluegrass genre here was casually (at least as casual as the attire) authoritative.<\/p>\n
