The band’s bass player reached out to me with the goodsoundwaves contact form. I was asked to bring my setup down about 40 minutes South to the Tuscora Park in New Philadelphia, Ohio.

The band’s namesake, Hunter Skeens, puts on an energetic show; he’s hardly content being boxed in on stage. To that end, the band uses fully wireless connections on nearly all of their instruments. This led to a scene where Andy Pastor played his fiddle as he walked to the back of the audience before setting in next to a couple about half way back down to the stage.

Hunter Skeens and The Forerunners are:

• Hunter Skeens, guitar and vocals
• John Feist, bass
• DJ Buell, banjo
• Andy Pastor, fiddle

And a special shout out to band mom, Lori Feist!

Here’s video of their full performance, including both sets…
