If you don't like alternative bluegrass and folk music, yes they would
seem boring.

The '''Packway Handle Band''' is a [[Bluegrass music|bluegrass]]
[[quintet]] originating as a part of [[Music of Athens, Georgia]] in
2001. The band is known for tight three- and four-part vocal
harmonies, extensive and progressive original material, off-the-wall
covers, and energetic performance dynamics around two tightly-spaced
condenser mics. Fans of the band include bluegrass traditionalists and
those who say they don=92t usually like bluegrass.
=3D=3D History =3D=3D
Over the course of the band's four-year history, they have been
recognized both regionally and nationally. In 2003, they won the
Athens hosting of the [[Miller Lite]] =93Locals Only=94 Battle of the
Bands, besting 72 rock bands with an energetic, single-mic
performance. They were finalists three consecutive years in the
prestigious [[Telluride Bluegrass Festival Band Competition]] and have
been voted Athens=92 Best Bluegrass Band three years running in the
readers=92 choice [[Flagpole Music Awards]].
In January 2004, PHB released their debut album [[Chaff Harvest]],
which features some of the band=92s creative, early songwriting.
According to the [[Southeastern Bluegrass Association]], =93this is not
a recording for those who would like bluegrass to remain frozen in
1953=85.=91Chaff Harvest' is a welcome breath of fresh air from an
innovative band that shows even more promise for the future.=94
September 2005 witnessed the release of PHB most recent album,
[[(Sinner) You Better Get Ready]] - a collection of traditional
[[gospel]] tunes, some haunting tunes about the end of the world, and
an arrangement of [[Madonna (entertainer)|Madonna]]=92s "[[Like a Prayer
(song)|Like a Prayer]]." (Sinner) was voted one of the Top Ten Albums
to come out of Athens, GA in 2005 by the readers of Flagpole Magazine.
The Packway Handle Band has toured widely and shared the stage with
many great musicians including [[Ralph Stanley]], [[Yonder Mountain
String Band]], [[Donna The Buffalo]], [[Darrell Scott]], [[Larry
Keel]], [[Jeff Austin]] and [[Chris Castino]], and [[Confederate
Railroad]]. The young, talented members of this up-and-coming band
aspire to bring their unique brand of American folk music to new
audiences around the world, living up to one reviewer=92s prediction
that they =93grow musically and become a staple name on the big
Bluegrass circuit=94 (JigTime 2/04).
