We come to you, hat in hand, with a very important correction to our lineup announcement. We would like to extend our sincerest apologies to The Banana Slugs and our gratitude to Katie Hoschouer, née Parsons, who pointed out our unfortunate error.
The Banana Slug String Band has not only performed on the Main Stage, they have performed THREE TIMES on the Main Stage! These truly epic appearances include:
🍌 A full set in Spring 1988
🐌 A 3-song “tweener” in Fall 2001
🍓 A full set in Fall 2002
Katie, who also provided the photo documentation, explained that she knows for a fact that the Banana Slugs have played the Main Stage before because she was invited on stage to play a lobster claw harmonica as “Blind Lemon Pledge” with her fellow BSSB Groupies, her sister Lizz and childhood best friend Catherine (AKA “The Slime Trax”) in 1988. They even had a theme song they would walk around camp singing!
So there you have it. We can’t wait to have the Banana Slug String Band on the Main Stage AGAIN to celebrate their 40th anniversary as a band!
