More about the bands:

Late for the Train is a modern string band rooted in American folk and bluegrass music. Infused with the honest depth of the coastal redwood forests and the heartfelt community of Northern California, the group provides a playful and poignant musical experience that uplifts the spirit and rouses the soul.

Travel back to a time of hearthside storytelling with these California natives, reveling in the rich traditions of Americana, bluegrass, folk, and Celtic music. Their dynamic songwriting is inspired by influences such as Kate Wolf, The Wood Brothers, John Hartford, and Nickel Creek.

The ensemble consists of David Pascoe (guitar), Laura Benson (fiddle), Thom Beneduci (stand-up bass), and Bud Dillard (mandolin). The band’s skillful craftsmanship meets tender harmonies and potent lyrics that grapple with all the wonder, contradiction, and truth of living in the modern age. Their second album, The Flowers of Yesteryear, was released on April 12th, 2024, and their third album is slated for release in spring of 2025.


Thunder Ridge is a straight-ahead bluegrass band from Portland, OR. The traditional five-piece band is made up of banjo, guitar, mandolin, bass and fiddle. They will steal your heart with hard driving vocal harmonies and instrumentals. Allow them to take you down a path of yesteryear with a good old fashioned sound inspired by the masters of bluegrass, and sprinkled with a few originals!

Featuring Casey Davidson on bass, Chuck Holloway on banjo, Patrick Connell on guitar, Aaron Redner on fiddle, and Drew Tucker on mandolin.


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.

At 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.

Audiences 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.


33 String Drive is a six-piece Bluegrass/Americana band from Southern Oregon that includes fiddle, banjo, mandolin, guitar, Dobro and upright bass. Members include some of the most seasoned players in the area including Bob Evoniuk on Dobro and Jeffery Jones on mandolin, both founding members of Foxfire, Siskiyou Summit of course, 33 SD. On banjo is Rick Nelson also a founding member of Siskiyou Summit and of the Rogue Valley Bluegrass Boys. On fiddle is the amazing, Jessie Watson who will delight you with her Bluegrass style on fiddle and harmony singing. On the upright bass is Holly Hurley who has a voice that will give you chills. And finally, on guitar is Robert Keane, who's a well-known fixture in the Bay Area Bluegrass music scene. Robert's guitar playing and singing adds the Drive in the 33 Strings arrangements.

33 String Drive’s vocal harmony singing is second to none! This is no “jam band!” This is a professional group that focuses on tight vocal harmonies, intricate instrumental arrangements and most of all entertainment! In any set you may hear a mix of great original songs or arrangements of songs by Dolly Parton, The Beatles, The Waterboys, Tom Petty, Postal Service, Trisha Yearwood, Olivia Newton John, Linda Ronstadt, The Supremes or Bill Monroe. You just never know - but you will always be entertained!
