Upper Midwestern Old Time, Country, and Bluegrass

Slapdash Bluegrass is an old time, country, and bluegrass band based between Northfield, MN, Chicago, IL, and Decorah, IA. Centering a love of folk traditions, delicate vocal harmony, and instrumental prowess, a Slapdash show is a celebration of community.

 The band expands and contracts based on its environment, from an intimate guitar and banjo duo to a 5-piece party-starting circus. From festival stages to dive bars to fellowship halls, Slapdash Bluegrass draws a crowd with foot-stomping, finger-blazing barn burners, and keeps a crowd with nuanced writing and charm.  

SDBG has had the honor of playing festivals such as Boats and Bluegrass, Larryfest, and Turkey River Cabin Concerts, among others. In 2025 you can expect to see Slapdash Bluegrass at more beloved regional festivals, and on the road throughout the region promoting their debut EP.
