Pied Pumkin
MINI
BIO
Legendary
B.C. folk trio Pied Pumkin combines dulcimer, guitar,
violin, mandolin and fearless vocals in a smorgasbord of
folk, rock, jazz, blues and country.
Veteran
folkies Shari Ulrich, Rick Scott and Joe
Mock reunited three years ago after a 25 year hiatus to
play a few shows just for fun. The response was tumultuous
and they have since performed over 80 sold out concerts
across the country. They'll be featured at the Owen Sound,
Ottawa and Peterborough Festivals in August and are
delighted to stop over at C'est What for an evening's
frolic.
Together
for only two year's in the mid 70's, Pied Pumkin were
pioneers of independent recording on the west coast,
releasing several LPs and selling over 30,000 records from
the stage. With their timeless tunes, fearless arrangements,
irreverent humour and flawless harmonies they garnered a
large and loyal following. In 1976 Shari left the band to
join Valdy and The Hometown Band who ironically had a
minor AM hit with Mock's Pumkin anthem Fear of
Flying. Rick and Joe continued playing as the duo
Pied Pear until 1982 then they too went their
separate ways All three continue to create original music
and tour widely as solo perfomers.
