SUMMARY:Sunday Night Bluegrass featuring Fog Holler at the Showdown
DESCRIPTION:Fog Holler is a bluegrass band with an edge. What gives them that edge is a topic of hot debate. For some\, it’s musicianship – these bluegrass cats shred. For others\, it’s the songwriting\, traditional in style but topical in substance. Sometimes\, they undeniably snare people with the squad factor – folks see 4 grown adults in matching monochrome\, and they get curious. The secret\, according to Fog Holler\, is simply that they write and play bluegrass in 2024\, with similar intention but very different context from the genre’s originators. Inspired by a range of influences from The Stanley Brothers to Buck Owens to Meshuggah\, Fog Holler breathes fresh life into well worn forms like the murder ballad and the power waltz. Described by two-time Grammy Award Winner Cathy Fink as “The next generation of the many shades of grass”\, Fog Holler’s captivating tunes and coordinated outfits are quickly enthralling longtime bluegrass fans and newcomers alike. \nShow 8 pm / Doors 7 pm / 21+

They ground themselves firmly in the bluegrass traditions of driving fiddle tunes\, layered harmonies\, and single mics\, all the while weaving in inspiration and originality gleaned from genres far and wide. You can expect to hear a Stanley Brothers number right alongside a stirring original or a rollicking rock cover done in Skillethead’s own unique fashion. The spectrum reaches far and wide\, the bluegrass universe is expanding\, and Skillethead is on that ride! \nThe brain child of late night jams and carrot picking daydreams\, Skillethead was christened in the spring of 2019 by friends and longtime musical revelers Joe Schulte\, Benji Nagel\, and Garrett Miller. “I do believe we should start a band” someone said\, and thus it was so. With the additions of bass/vocal powerhouse Aaron Moore and fiddle maestro Casey Willis\, Skillethead is now a bona fide tour-de-force bluegrass machine.

SUMMARY:Laurie Lewis and Sully Tuttle: Bluegrass at its Finest at Tsunami Books
DESCRIPTION:About Laurie Lewis:\nAlthough she has played roots music since her teenage years and performed in various bands from her early 20s\, it wasn’t until she was 36 that Laurie decided to venture out on her own. Her solo recording\, Restless Rambling Heart\, introduced the national music audience to Laurie’s talents and versatility. The CD\, produced by Tim O’Brien\, features seven originals and showcases her stunning vocal range and control.  Since that time\, Laurie has twice been named Female Vocalist of the Year by the International Bluegrass Music Association\, and won Song of the Year for her rendition of the now-standard “Who Will Watch the Home Place?” She has collaborated on numerous other award-winning recordings.  While steeped in the bluegrass tradition\, Laurie’s songwriting demonstrates her ability to surpass the limitations of that genre. Her works reflect her wide range of influences: from old time and country to Tin Pan Alley\, jazz standards and early rock ‘n roll.  Her songs have been recorded by Kathy Mattea\, Patsy Montana and the First Ladies of Bluegrass\, led by Missy Raines\, among others. Poet\, essayist\, novelist\, and environmental activist Wendell Berry has asked her to set some of his poems to music. Laurie has been nominated for GRAMMYs for her own projects and has been prominently featured on others’ GRAMMY-winning works. \nAccompanying Laurie will be Sully Tutte (brother of Molly Tuttle):\nAt the age of 29 Sullivan Tuttle has created a name for himself as one of the most innovative guitarists of his generation. Since before he hit his teens he was wowing listeners in Youtube videos that now have surpassed two million views collectively. His impossibly fast playing makes jaws drop all over the world\, and he has won the Northern California Bluegrass Society Guitar Player of the Year award more times than anyone can count. Make no mistake however\, “Sully” (as friends call him) is more than just a virtuoso picker. One listen to his cover of The National’s “Soho Riots” \nDoors 7 pm.
