A multi-generational stringband with roots in Traditional American Old Time Music. Wicked Children plays traditional and new, Appalachian-style fiddle music with a focus on strong fiddling and a compelling groove. Members of the band are: Judy Hyman (fiddle) and Jeff Claus (banjo uke and guitar) of The Horse Flies; brothers Gus (fiddle, guitar, and banjo uke) and Huck (fiddle and percussion) Tritsch, of Wicked Chicken and Gus is now in Jake Blount’s band; Sam Schmidt (guitar) of Willie Watson’s band, Lloyd Graves (banjo) of Lloyd’s Boys; and Jason Zorn (bass) of lots of bands. Huck and Gus placed 1st and 2nd, respectively, in the 2019 youth fiddle contest at Clifftop Appalachian Festival in WV, and Gus won best original fiddle tune. Also, a slightly different configuration of Wicked Children (including Gus, Huck, and Jeff) placed second in the neo-trad band category. Members of the band have extensive, relevant history, including major label albums; touring in the U.S., Canada, and Europe; recording and touring with Natalie Merchant; performing on Late Night with David Letterman; creating film scores for feature films; making a deep pocket; having fun; and more.
