Triple Chicken Foot is an Old Time trio playing fiddle and banjo tunes and songs
throughout Los Angeles with Ben Guzmán on fiddle/mandolin, Mike Heinle on banjo
and Kelly Marie Martin on guitar. At many a late night jam, they've soaked up
fiddle tunes and gospel songs, and have found their voice with foot stomping dance
tunes, beautiful duets and intense three part harmony of a cappella ballads. In
2011, Triple Chicken Foot was voted
“Best Folk Band in LA” by LA Weekly, and in 2012, they had a full-length
feature article in the Los Angeles Times and a studio session for Roz Lurman’s
FolkScene radio show on KPFK. They've performed at the Autry National Center,
LACMA, The Watkins Family Hour, NPR, and have been featured at local and
regional festivals, including Goleta Fiddlers Convention, Topanga Banjo and
Fiddle Contest, the New Los Angeles Folk Festival, the Portland Old Time
Gathering, the Berkeley Old Time Music Convention, and on the Palomino stage of
the Stagecoach Festival. The band tries to honor the tradition of the roots of
this music as an oral and community-based experience by hosting monthly jams,
square dances with caller, Susan Michaels and in producing the annual Los Angeles
Old Time Social.
