SUMMARY:Jacob Jolliff with SkilletHead at the Tower Theater
DESCRIPTION:Jacob Jolliff is one of the world’s premier contemporary mandolinists. In 2011\, he graduated from Berklee College of Music\, having studied there on a full scholarship. The following year\, in 2012\, he won the USA’s National Mandolin Championship in Winfield\, KS. A fixture of the bluegrass scene\, he has performed and collaborated with Béla Fleck\, Tony Trischka\, Michael Daves\, Grant Gordy\, Wes Corbett\, and Alex Hargreaves\, to name a few. Additionally\, throughout his 20s\, he toured as a member of the groups Joy Kills Sorrow and Yonder Mountain String Band. Currently\, his focus is on his own ensemble\, The Jacob Jolliff Band—one of the most cutting-edge progressive bluegrass groups on the scene today. They’ve released three albums\, the most recent of which\, “Instrumentals\, Vol. 2: Mandolin Mysteries\,” dropped in May 2024. The band plays a combination of complex original instrumental music and vocal repertoire that spans from trad bluegrass to unlikely pop covers. Improvisation and the ensemble interplay are at the forefront. \nSetting roots in the high and dry Central Oregon desert\, Skillethead calls forth the best of bluegrass old and new. 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!

SUMMARY:Sam Bush Band at the Aladdin
DESCRIPTION:There was only one prize-winning teenager carrying stones big enough to say thanks\, but no thanks to Roy Acuff. Only one son of Kentucky finding a light of inspiration from Bill Monroe and his Blue Grass Boys and catching a fire from Bob Marley and The Wailers. Only one progressive hippie allying with like-minded conspirators\, rolling out the New Grass revolution\, and then leaving the genre’s torch-bearing band behind as it reached its commercial peak.\n\nThere is only one consensus pick of peers and predecessors\, of the traditionalists\, the rebels\, and the next gen devotees. Music’s ultimate inside outsider. Or is it outside insider? There is only one Sam Bush. \nBush was the newgrass commando\, incorporating a variety of genres into the repertoire. He discovered a sibling similarity with the reggae rhythms of Marley and The Wailers\, and\, accordingly\, developed an ear-turning original style of mandolin playing. \nA three-record contract with Capitol Records and a conscious turn to the country market took the Revival to new commercial heights. Bush survived a life-threatening bout with cancer\, and returned to the group that’d become more popular than ever. They released chart-climbing singles\, made videos\, earned Grammy nominations\, and\, at their zenith\, called it quits. \n“We were on the verge of getting bigger\,” recalls Bush. “Or maybe we’d gone as far as we could. I’d spent 18 years in a four-piece partnership. I needed a break. But\, I appreciated the 18 years we had.” \nBush worked the next five years with Emmylou Harris’ Nash Ramblers\, then a stint with Lyle Lovett. He took home three-straight IBMA Mandolin Player of the Year awards\, 1990-92\, (and a fourth in 2007). In 1995 he reunited with Fleck\, now a burgeoning superstar\, and toured with the Flecktones\, reigniting his penchant for improvisation. Then\, finally\, after a quarter-century of making music with New Grass Revival and collaborating with other bands\, Sam Bush went solo. \nHe’s released seven albums and a live DVD over the past two decades. In 2009\, the Americana Music Association awarded Bush the Lifetime Achievement Award for Instrumentalist. Punch Brothers\, Steep Canyon Rangers\, and Greensky Bluegrass are just a few present-day bluegrass vanguards among so many musicians he’s influenced. His performances are annual highlights of the festival circuit\, with Bush’s joyous perennial appearances at the town’s famed bluegrass fest earning him the title\, “King of Telluride.” \n“With this band I have now I am free to try anything. Looking back at the last 50 years of playing newgrass\, with the elements of jazz improvisation and rock-&-roll\, jamming\, playing with New Grass Revival\, Leon\, and Emmylou; it’s a culmination of all of that\,” says Bush. “I can unapologetically stand onstage and feel I’m representing those songs well.”

SUMMARY:The Sam Bush Band at Tower Theater
DESCRIPTION:There was only one prize-winning teenager carrying stones big enough to say thanks\, but no thanks to Roy Acuff. Only one son of Kentucky finding a light of inspiration from Bill Monroe and his Blue Grass Boys and catching a fire from Bob Marley and The Wailers. Only one progressive hippie allying with like-minded conspirators\, rolling out the New Grass revolution\, and then leaving the genre’s torch-bearing band behind as it reached its commercial peak. \nThere is only one consensus pick of peers and predecessors\, of the traditionalists\, the rebels\, and the next gen devotees. Music’s ultimate inside outsider. Or is it outside insider? There is only one Sam Bush.

SUMMARY:The Rosa Lees at 7 Devils Brewery
DESCRIPTION:The Rosa Lees hail from the hills of sunny Southern Oregon and trace a distinct line between their music and the vision of female bluegrass pioneers such as Hazel Dickens\, Alice Gerrard\, Rose Maddox\, and beyond. \nAt the forefront of their music lies an emphasis on closely blended harmonies\, hard-charging rhythms\, and lyrically potent songs. Their repertoire mingles elements of traditional bluegrass with traces of old-time fiddle and banjo tunes\, classic country\, old-world Celtic music\, and gospel. They prioritize songs with meaning and a strong turn of phrase\, working to fuse all these ingredients into the original songs that punctuate their sets. \nAudiences consistently rave about the distinct blend of their vocal harmonies and instrumental acuity\, not to mention their playful on-stage demeanor. The Rosa Lees are Rachel Buklad on banjo\, Jessie Monter on fiddle\, Holly Hurley on bass\, and Bekkah McAlvage on guitar.

SUMMARY:Shire on the Mountain: A Bluegrass Lord of the Rings Party featuring Quattlebaum and dadweed at Troutlake Hall
DESCRIPTION:SHIRE ON THE MOUNTAIN: A Bluegrass “Lord of the Rings” Costume Party! \n$15 Advance // $15 Day Of Show\n6pm Doors / 7pm Show\nAll Ages \nQUATTLEBAUM (Quartet) \nQuattlebaum doesn’t just play music—he conjures it\, bending time and space. His banjo can whisper like a secret or roar like a freight train\, while his voice haunts the wind like a ghost in the pines. Armed with a banjo\, cello banjo\, and guitar\, his performances blend storytelling\, humor\, and raw energy. Whether strutting across the stage like a lanky heron or unleashing shreddy banjo licks\, Quattlebaum commands attention\, weaving tales of river ramblings\, backroad haunts\, and wild-eyed wanderers. His voice—gritty\, soulful\, and unfiltered—rides the line between raw vulnerability and raucous revelry\, pulling audiences into a world where bluegrass\, folk\, and cosmic country collide. \nAfter years on the road\, from dive bars to festival main stages\, Quattlebaum’s journey has taken him across continents and back again. From founding the acclaimed folk outfit Crow and the Canyon to sharing festival bills with icons at Outside Lands\, Northwest String Summit\, and Hardly Strictly Bluegrass\, he has left his mark on stages big and small. As a solo artist\, his 2018 EP Vol. 1 unveiled a hypnotic blend of vintage folk and gritty Americana\, earning him a special niche in the scene. \nOffstage\, he’s a musical curator\, a festival founder\, and an unwavering champion of weird art. Whether leading a raucous sing-along or pulling an audience into a hushed\, banjo-plucked trance\, Quattlebaum doesn’t just perform—he creates an experience\, one song\, one story\, and one foot-stomping moment at a time. \nDADWEED \ndadweed is an acoustic trio based out of Portland\, OR. Reimagining pickin’ and thumpin’ by blending elements of jazz/folk/pop/R&B within a traditional bluegrass lens\, their sets explore a wide variety of styles and dynamics – with a focus on improvisation – showcasing both covers and originals. Leaning heavily into three-part vocal harmonies and virtuosic instrumentation\, dadweed strives to redefine what’s possible in bluegrass. The trio has toured throughout the west coast since 2024\, appearing at festivals\, venues\, and private events. dadweed released their first EP in Summer 2024 and will continue to release new singles throughout 2025.
