Strictly Clean & Decent
This acoustic trio has traveled the world creating their own blend of folk music. The group features Patrick Crouch, Ron Shuffler, and Kay Crouch. Their eclectic repertoire includes modern folk songs by American, Canadian, and Irish songwriters, the fiery breakdowns and songs of family and home found in both traditional and contemporary bluegrass settings, and centuries-old Celtic airs and dance tunes. All of this is peppered with a healthy dose of popular jazz standards, swing and western swing music, and a few classic country tunes. The Hickory News claims that “what really sets this trio apart is the bluegrass/swing/pop/country influence of three musicians whose talents take them to virtually every style of music ever conceived!” Strictly Clean and Decent has performed in Ireland eight times, but they are often seen at the Biltmore House and Duke Gardens.
