  • Bio

    Old 86 was born in the Summer of 2007, and since then the members have been constantly honing their live show, which ventures from zydeco-influenced 50's rock to low down blues to intense psychedelia that has been known to blow minds. Whether it is the hard-rocking keys and drumming of Joe Macphail, the funky rhythms of bassist Neal Dempsey, the smooth saxophone and violin of Mie Hirschfield, or the dual-guitar attack of Daniel Fields and Chris Brown, their music is guaranteed to be what former Squirrel Nut Zipper Tom Maxwell calls "a damn good time". Old 86 has played on WUNC's The State of Things, and have played the popular local club "The Cat's Cradle" on several occasions. They are constantly improving, so every time you see them will be even better than the last. .. .. For booking, information, criticism, and praise, please email us at old86music@yahoo.com.. .. .. ..

    Very awesome show tonight at The Cave, guys!  -Love the new pieces!  Old 86 is causing a bit of a nice ripple in the fabric of local music. 

    Did you tell me y'all are lining up a show for November 20(?) at Broad Street Cafe? The 20th is a Friday night, and I was thinking it was going to be a weeknight, like Tuesday or Thursday, maybe, 10pm.

    Many thanks!  (which of the Old 86 "I"'s is writing?)  

    Also, I thought of y'all as I was pre-recording a WUNC segment for tomorrow's TSOT, and y'all's spotlight many months earlier!  I wanted so much to have time to get to the question about favorite groups.  Old 86 was on the short list, for sure!  I was hoping we could close the segment by my reading a LONGGGGGG list of my favorite groups.  After 10-15 seconds of name afer name after name, they'd slowly fade.  I forgot to mention that though.
