Golden Delicious (band)
Golden Delicious was a Portland, Oregon–based band active in the mid- to late-1990s. Members over time included Pete Krebs (guitar), Kevin Richey (banjo), Paul Bassett (washboard), Marilee Hord (fiddle), Jesse Spero (drums), and David Reisch (bass).
Their music mixed country and bluegrass with a punk energy and a playful, irreverent attitude. In Modern Twang, David Goodman described them as combining the spirited new old-time style of groups like the Highwoods String Band or the Freight Hoppers with the madcap attitude of the Holy Modal Rounders. Marilee Hord has said they dislike being boxed into a single genre, noting that labeling music can degrade it.
Golden Delicious released their debut album, Old School, on Cavity Search Records in 1997.
