The Knuckle Knockers knock out the old time music, stoking the fires of the Appalachian music tradition to give you a glimpse of the past through the eyes of the present, with voice, fiddles, mandolin, guitar and 5-string banjo. Bill’s nimble and masterful playing, Stairwell Sisters’ stalwart Martha’s crisp guitar work and voice that’s the envy of the trailer park, and Karen’s emotive playing that’s a confluence of the past and the playful, all go neck and neck, knuckle to knuckle on lightning dance tunes, fire and brimstone, and magical harmonies.

Every Sunday afternoon here at Red Hill Books one can search the shelves or sit down with a cup of wine, a neighborly cheeseplate of delectables, let the kids browse the board books, and enjoy your Sunday afternoon with some of the best music by the best musicians San Francisco has to offer. All shows are from 3 to 5 pm
