Brought together by the Bluegrass jams flurried throughout the Duluth hillside, the Lake Effect String Band is “grounded in the rich traditions of delicious, upbeat picking styles.” Drifting from Flatts, Scruggs, and Doc Watson classics to new grass acts such as Hot Rize, Sam Bush, and David Grisman, Lake Effect piles up tunes for lovers of string music. || CLOVERLAND || “Cloverland hails from Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, a landscape that’s been cutover and cultivated, regrown and regenerated. They chart a distinctive musical topography by blending driving bluegrass, old-time melodies, soulful harmonies, classic country, and the timeless energy of rock. Combining their own original compositions with traditional American music, Cloverland’s sound pays homage to the past while growing something fresh, vibrant, and uniquely theirs.”
