Pixie and The Partygrass Boys may be far from their humble beginnings, but they still don't take themselves too seriously. Originating as ski bums playing house parties in Salt Lake City’s Cottonwood Canyons, they’ve evolved into a nationally touring band that always aims to have the most fun possible. Along with the skill and expertise that comes from nearly a decade of performing together, they bring the energy of closing weekend at your favorite ski resort to the stage. Their unique blend of heartfelt songwriting, high velocity instrumental excellence, silly outfits, and sing-along anthems has captivated audiences nationwide. Pixie and The Partygrass Boys invite the audience into their world every time they take the stage, hoping to share a piece of the magic they've found on the mountain tops and in the desert canyons of their Utah home.

Pixie and The Partygrass Boys have been touring extensively since the release of their 2018 debut EP "Utah Made" at countless venues across the USA. Notable festival appearances include becoming a five-year fixture at WinterWonderGrass, as well as gracing the stages of Bourbon and Beyond, High Sierra Music Festival, Northwest String Summit, Jam Cruise, Rockygrass, Walnut Valley Festival, Blue Ox Music Festival, Delfest, Sawtooth Valley Gathering, Gem and Jam, and Hangtown. They have also directly supported musical greats such as Billy Strings, The Infamous Stringdusters, Grace Potter, Lindsay Lou, The Brothers Comatose, and Lake Street Dive.

Signing with Americana Vibes in 2023 marked the release of their 4th album, "The Chicken Coop Sessions: Vol. 1," honoring their origins with the nostalgic covers that brought them together for those canyon house parties so many years ago.

Their latest album, ‘Pixie & The Partygrass Boys,’ explores the full spectrum of the human experience. Merging the traditional sounds of Appalachia with the unbridled wildness of the Mountain West, Pixie and The Partygrass Boys weave a musical tapestry that leaps from the speakers to captivate the heart of the listener. Whether you're wild and free (as all things are meant to be), dissolving a relationship into nothing, skiing through knee deep snow in a secret ski spot (because there's no friends on a powder day), or marching on to find love and beauty despite the troubling times we find ourselves living in, everyone wild find a home in their music and lyrical content.

Their self-titled release is a departure from their conventional stringband approach of the past. Recorded at Man vs. Music studios in their hometown of Salt Lake City, produced and engineered by Utah legend Michael Sasich, Pixie and the Partygrass Boys incorporated every tool in the toolbox to bring their songs to life. By enhancing their non-traditional bluegrass quintet with drums, pedal steel, trumpets, ethereal guitar choirs, baritone guitar, electric bass, and a makeshift choir composed of their closest friends, they craft a sonic exploration of unconventional musical landscapes.

Looking forward to 2025 with fresh songs, another album on the way, and their first year of international touring, Pixie and The Partygrass Boys will be bringing their high-energy show to a town near you. As exciting and energetic as their latest album is, it is eclipsed by their high-octane live performances. Featuring high kicks, fun outfits, intimate stage banter, dad jokes, and high-velocity musical excellence, their show is unforgettable and not to be missed.
