Bayou Mountain Boys
The Bayou Mountain Boys play a combination of Bluegrass and Cajun music.The band is made up of two music instruction from 317 Main Music School in Yarmouth.Mitch Reed is a Cajun fiddler originally from Louisiana and Carter Logan who plays a variety of instruments (banjo, guitar and dobro) are the principals for this group.
The World Famous Grassholes
The World Famous Grassholes play high-energy bluegrass (yes, a little bit like that Billy Strings guy, but also like Greensky and Leftover Salmon and Mighty Poplar, etc.), a mix of original compositions, classics, and cool covers. It’s good for dancing and nodding your head and tapping your feet, and meant to be enjoyed with friends and family. Part of a long legacy of performers that goes back to 2000, the Grassholes feature Heather Kahill on fiddle, Merrill Marsh and Sam Pfeifle on guitars, Flann O’Brien on the stand-up bass, and Field Rider on Banjo and harmonica. Everybody sings a bit here and there, whether you like it or not.
Tricky Britches
Tricky Britches formed in 2009, when friends in Portland, Maine, took their fiddle tunes and country songs on the road across the U.S. Since then they have released three albums of original material: Comin’ in Hot (2016), Good Company (2013), and Hard Fought Day (2011). They have played on stages big and small across the U.S., Hawaii, and Europe, but at the end of the day, their favorite show is still on a crowded street corner at midnight. Members:
