Saturday Daytime -- 12:30 pm to 1:30 pm

Fog Holler’s monochrome crew members -- Casey James Holmberg on banjo, vocals; Tommy Shulz on guitar, vocals; Noa on bass, fiddle; and Clare Armenante, fiddle) aren’t afraid to take their exceptional skills out to play -- and then push the boundaries until one forgets there ever WERE boundaries. Murder ballads, power waltzes, Buck Owens’ licks -- it’s all here and more. Come hear what Cathy Fink calls “The next generation of the many shades of bluegrass.” 

Returning from our 2026 festival, 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. 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.
