FROG HOLLER

Hailing from Berks County Pennsylvania, Frog Holler are those “real-deal story tellers” bringing music out of a “rare place of honesty” … these neo-hillbillies with a twist, play mountain blues and country as accessible and modern as the most hummable pop”.

You’ve Got A Friend In Frog Holler!​

IDrawSlow
Week 2 - January 26-28, 2024

I DRAW SLOW

Dublin Ireland roots band​ I Draw Slow are “a confident and distinctive blend of American bluegrass and Irish sensibility” whose ​“handcrafted songwriting, sweet harmonies” and ​“infectious melodies are “spellbinding”.

Their music and their shows are as gritty as they are beautiful!
