Coming to The Hybrid Gallery on February 15th, 2025!Fog Holler
Fog Holler is a bluegrass band with an edge. What gives the band 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.
Meadow Rue
Meadow Rue started around the campfire when two prolific songwriters, Greg Oldson (guitar) and Sarah Mazze (mandolin), started swapping songs and adding harmonies to each others’ tunes. The two quickly realized that they had a number of songs that deserved to see the light of day, but that didn’t fit into their other bands. They added Steve Korin on stand up-bass and started playing around the region. A year later Heather Brey joined the trio bringing her masterful fiddle, banjolele, ukulele playing and vocals. Dobro and guitar virtuoso, Jack Wheeler, then joined the band bringing his fiery instrumentals and Chicago blues-style guitar playing.
Meadow Rue will take you on a journey across the landscape of American music. Each member brings unique influences to their songwriting and musical interpretation, resulting in a diverse range of styles that makes each song unique. They incorporate folk, country, blues, bluegrass, old-time rock 'n' roll, with a grounding in funk and soul, all played on acoustic instruments.
Meadow Rue’s strength lies in their exceptional songwriting and vocal performance, with a deep connection among the musicians that shines through their harmonies and instrumental grooves. Meadow Rue's songs speak to real human emotions and stories, resonating as deeply today as they would have 80 years ago. Their music is a testament to the power of well-crafted songs performed with passion and skill.
