Edgar Loudermilk Band
Edgar Loudermilk, a two-time back-to-back SPBGMA “Bass Fiddle Performer of the Year” Award winner, is the proud bandleader of the Edgar Loudermilk Band. The Pinecastle Recording artist has garnered over 40 industry nominations and awards. Among contemporary lead bluegrass singers, Edgar Loudermilk has one of the most distinctive, recognizable, and enjoyable voices in the business. His crisp baritone lead is powerful, cutting, and expressively tuneful. As with Russell Johnson and Junior Sisk, similarly strident voices, you can always find him in the mix and always want to." --Bluegrass Unlimited | Crying Uncle Bluegrass Band
Widely recognized as one of the most exciting young bands in acoustic music, Crying Uncle Bluegrass plays a unique mix of bluegrass, Dawg (David Grisman music), jazz, and modern originals. Brothers Miles and Teo Quale are joined by bassist Andrew Osborn and 2023 National Flat Pick Guitar Champion Ian Ly, all outstanding young musicians of the vibrant California bluegrass scene. Founded in 2016 as a Duo band, Miles and Teo formed the bluegrass band in 2017 and since then, they have continued to make waves in the world of bluegrass and acoustic music. The bluegrass band was the recipient of the 2023 International Bluegrass Music Association’s Momentum Band of the Year award. The band was also honored to perform for the Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame’s induction of their hero, David Grisman. | Cross Eyed Possum
The Cross-Eyed Possum is an identical twin led Americana/Newgrass band that plays with the energy of a folk-rock band through the lens of intimacy created as an acoustic trio. Their music is an amalgamation of their collective love for passionate rock ‘n’ roll, their experience with the free and honest feeling found in acoustic/bluegrass festivals, and their time spent dedicated to the adventurous tendencies of jazz and classical music composition while attending universities. The band is currently celebrating their second studio album “Out On My Own.” | The Honey Buckets
Honey Buckets, Southern California single-mic bluegrass band raised on heavy metal and smog. Out of the bluegrass heartland Inland Empire, California come four pickers raised on heavy metal and smog. Single-mic, heart-pounding, ass-kicking bluegrass music played the way they like it since 2014. These fan favorites bring it every time whether on stage or the late night jams at the Honey Bucket camp. |
