Lost in the Fog

not quite bluegrass, too funky for folk! Seattle-based five-piece acoustic ensemble playing an exciting mix of traditional and contemporary music in the bluegrass style. The band is well-known for their diverse mix of hard luck blues songs, high lonesome ballads, up-beat swing tunes, country classics and good old-fashioned, hard-driving bluegrass standards. Their repertoire also includes unique arrangements of familiar folk and gospel songs as well as a number of original compositions.

3:00 PM Matinee

Uncle Earl

This all-girl, high-energy quartet infuses traditional string-band roots music (Scotch-Irish ballads, Celtic fiddle tunes, the blues) with new, original material influenced by music old and new. Their sound is multi-faceted and pulls from the best to incorporate it into their own special mix. Inviting, personable, dancable, and soul-satisfying, this is music from the heart for the heart, music to fill-you-up and spill out in a rich, flowing blend of delectable sound. Uncle Earl makes happy feet!

Cowboy poet and balladeer of the west, Casey hails from Montana, land of the endless sky, of the Rockey Mountains, of elk and wolves, and of real cowboys. His poetry and songs pull you into your own heritage and wrap you in the lore you love, where you can almost feel the the leather beneath you and hear the howl of the wolves.
