PERFORMER SPOTLIGHT – CRYING UNCLE BLUEGRASS

Crying Uncle Bluegrass plays a mix of Dawg, jazz, modern originals, and of course, bluegrass! Brothers Miles and Teo Quale are joined by bassist Andrew Osborn and 2023 National Flat Pick Guitar Champion Ian LY—all outstanding young musicians of the vibrant, acoustic California scene.

CRYING UNCLE BLUEGRASS

Founded in 2016 as a duo, Crying Uncle expanded into a four-person band in 2017; since then, they have continued to make waves in the world of bluegrass and acoustic music.

As David Grisman professed, “Go and check out Crying Uncle! We dig what they are doing! The future of music is in good hands here!” 

Based in Northern California, Crying Uncle Bluegrass has played at venues such as IBMA’s World of Bluegrass Festival, CBA’s Father’s Day Bluegrass Festival, SF’s Hardly Strictly Bluegrass, Delfest, Grey Fox Bluegrass Festival, and Strawberry Music Festival. 

Welcome back to Strawberry, Crying Uncle.
