LONG BIO:
dadweed is an acoustic trio based out of Portland, OR. Reimagining pickin’ and thumpin’ by blending elements of jazz/folk/pop/R&B within a traditional bluegrass lens, their sets explore a wide variety of styles and dynamics – with a focus on improvisation – showcasing both covers and originals. Leaning heavily into three-part vocal harmonies and virtuosic instrumentation, dadweed strives to redefine what’s possible in bluegrass. The trio has toured throughout the west coast since 2024, appearing at festivals, venues, and private events. dadweed released their first EP in Summer 2024 and will continue to release new singles throughout 2025.
“Hot Damn Scandal finds its songs under park benches and in forgotten alleyways, on the corner of Tom Waits and Gershwin. The resulting outlaw ballads, dirty jazz, circus freakouts, shanty-rags, string band funk, lonesome heart-breakers, and whiskey bottle love songs blend together in what may be best described as ‘Cabaret Americana’: theatrical, orchestral, lyrical, and endlessly danceable.
The group began as a nebula of traveling musicians formed around the songs of founder Pete Irving over 15 years ago. Firmly rooted in Bellingham, WA since 2016, they have become a staple in the ever evolving NW music scene.
With influences ranging from Roma Swing to Motown, from Klezmer too Country, they’ll be in your ears and on your mind for good after you’ve seen them once.“
Bruce is returning to Longstaff House for an evening of fiddle and banjo, songs and stories witty banter as only he can do.
There will also be a fiddle workshop sponsored and paid for by The Montana Oldtime Fiddlers at 3:00pm on June 1st. Bruce is the master and this should not be missed.
