TUESDAY STRING BAND
Tuesday String Band is made up of Western Oregon University (WOU) music students and alumni who are all dedicating their lives to careers in music. They love entertaining crowds with fast pickin’, witty banter, and string band versions of songs from a wide variety of styles. The band plays upwards of 100 shows per year throughout the Pacific Northwest and they have performed at several major Bluegrass festivals, including the North Cascades Bluegrass Festival.
In just under two years as a band, the group has already been featured in print in Go! Eastern Oregon, The Polk County Itemizer-Observer, and The Bluegrass Express. They've been recorded on the air with KBOO, KMUZ, No Simple Road, and Monmouth Monthly. They even represented WOU and the City of Monmouth on the televised KGW News segment "Rod on the Road." The group has grown a following of over 10K on their social media pages and can be heard playing every Tuesday night at Gilgamesh Brewing: The River in Independence, OR. They are on a mission to keep the string band tradition alive and to educate the next generation of pickers, and they're proud to be a contributing member band with the Oregon Bluegrass Association.

MIDNIGHT45
If you love the glass-shattering power of high tenor bluegrass voices and perfect harmonies, look no further than Midnight45. This powerhouse band features some of the most outstanding vocal and instrumental prowess you will hear in the Western US. Based in Central and Western Oregon, Midnight45 specializes in bluesy vocal-based deep-groove bluegrass music with a solid traditional approach. They perform traditional & contemporary bluegrass, featuring original material as well as traditional country duets. Each member of M45 is a veteran musician, having played in some of the finest bluegrass bands on the west coast, and it has long been a dream of the Adkins to join forces with Jered to form this Northwest supergroup.

TONY FURTADO AND FRIENDS
Tony is an evocative and soulful singer, a wide-ranging songwriter and a virtuoso multi-instrumental-ist adept on banjo, cello-banjo, slide guitar and baritone ukulele who mixes and matches sounds and styles with the fl air of a master chef (he’s also an accomplished sculptor, but that’s another story). All of the music of America is in Tony’s music. Relix magazine online hit the nail on the head when writing of Tony: “True talent doesn’t need categories."
