Surprisingly, virtually all of the youths return. But sometimes they don’t. Four out of the original six members of The Amish Outlaws were born and raised in Lancaster, PA and had a strict Amish upbringing. No electricity from land lines, no alcohol, no musical instruments, but their spirits were too wild for the Amish lifestyle. Once they trampled in the Devil’s Playground, there was no turning back. In the years since Rumspringa, the members of the Amish Outlaws have become very well acclimated to the pleasures and vices of the modern world…  music, most of all. Thus, with a bold lust for life and a fire for music and performance that can only come from 16 years of repression, The Amish Outlaws were unleashed upon the world. Whiskeyhickon Boys and the FunkWagon Deluxe Facebook | YouTube The roots of the early folk-rock scene can still be detected in 2012 with The WhiskeyHickon Boys... a relatively obscure sound creatively built for today's hybrid generation. These ex-folkies, who nightly pick up a combo of acoustic and electric instruments... produce an improvised Bluesy / Skiffle interpretation of the traditional Folk, Blues, Jazz and Roots influences. The WhiskeyHickon Boys have re-introduced their audience to that ringing, circular guitar riff sound that's become the center piece of their musical trademark.
