We’ve been listening, and we have a long-awaited announcement. . .

The Strawberry Performance History Database is back! Check it out here.

The database is a draft list of over 2,400 performances which have occurred at the Strawberry Bluegrass Festivals or Strawberry Music Festivals, on either the Main Stage, Workshop Stage or at Amy’s Orchid Cafe, from 1982 until 2024. The database is searchable and sortable by year, date, band, festival, and even time of day!

We are celebrating the return of the Strawberry Performer Database with a trivia contest for a pair of single-day tickets! 

QUESTION

The Banana Slug String Band has been playing music for kids and families for 40 years. 

The Slugs are environmental educators who met teaching in Outdoor Education in San Mateo County, deep in the redwood forests. Doug Dirt, Airy Larry, Marine Mark, and Solar Steve (their names representing sun, soil, water and air) are the “real deal.” 

With the deep sense of purpose to promote positive environmental messages, these impassioned musicians, songwriters, performers, educators, and eco-warriors have an extraordinary ability to connect with children as they change the world, one child at a time!

The Slugs have brought their musical messages to noted festivals such as the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, High Sierra Music Festival, and their home festival, the Strawberry Music Festival, which they have played over 40 times! 

We can’t wait to have the Banana Slug String Band on the Strawberry Stage AGAIN to celebrate their 40th anniversary as a band on Saturday, May 24th! Listen and learn more here.

The music that Sam Grisman heard his father David Grisman and Jerry Garcia make in the early ’90s (in the house Sam grew up in) is not only some of the most timeless acoustic music ever recorded, it also triggers his oldest and fondest musical memories. 

Sam’s aim in starting Sam Grisman Project is to build a container where he and his friends can showcase their genuine love and appreciation for the legacy of Dawg and Jerry’s music, the impact it has made on their own individual musical voices, and also to showcase the original music that their squad has to offer the world.

“It’s an absolute treat to travel the country with the people I care the most about, and to make great music and memories and friends everywhere we go.” – Sam Grisman, as told to Lindsey Terrell, The Bluegrass Situation

Join us for a lesson in love when Sam and his friends take the Strawberry Stage on Friday, May 23rd! Learn and listen here.

The Slocan Ramblers are Canada’s bluegrass band to watch.

Rooted in tradition, fearlessly creative and possessing a bold, dynamic sound, The Slocans have become a leading light of today’s acoustic music scene.

With a reputation for energetic live shows, impeccable musicianship and an uncanny ability to convert anyone within earshot into a lifelong fan, The Slocans have been winning over audiences from Merlefest to RockyGrass. And we’re sure that’ll be the case when they grace the Main Stage at Strawberry on Sunday, May 25th! Learn more here.
