Stand at the crossroads with THE INFAMOUS STRINGDUSTERS , for they are not a bluegrass band. Well, of course they are. In part; they play bluegrass instruments, and can certainly hold a bluegrass audience. But The Stringdusters are heirs to the transgressive tradition of bluegrass which links them to the Earl Scruggs Revue, New Grass Revival, Hot Rise, Nickel Creek, and Leftover Salmon. They are also heirs to the broader cultural tradition of rock ‘n ‘roll. Which means, depending upon which band member you s peak with, nods to Black Sabbath and the Grateful Dead, The Band and U2.

The Infamous Stringdusters are joined by young, innovative artists POLECAT, who have established themselves in the Northwest with their seamlessly blended genres that include bluegrass, country, celtic, rock, and world music.
