Sloughgrass Band – December 27, 2025
Since 2002, Sloughgrass has been a mainstay of the upper Midwest music scene, weaving together the traditions of bluegrass, Americana, country, and gospel with an unmistakable Northern Minnesota spirit.
Fronted by Judith Nelson (vocals, rhythm guitar, fiddle) and joined by Soren Olesen (guitar, mandolin, vocals), Christine Hultman (banjo, vocals), Joe Olson (doghouse bass) and Julie Olsen (viola), Sloughgrass delivers a dynamic mix of heartfelt originals and fresh interpretations of classic American roots music. Their performances are marked by tight harmonies, skilled instrumentation, and an inviting stage presence that resonates with audiences of all ages.
Approximately half of Sloughgrass’s repertoire features original songs penned by Judith, whose writing draws from the landscapes, lives, and stories of the Northwoods. The remainder of their sets are thoughtfully curated selections from the rich traditions of bluegrass, gospel, and classic country.
Over the years, Sloughgrass has seen members go on to national stages — with alumni Gary Hultman now touring with Blue Highway and Holger Olesen performing with The Little Roy and Lizzy Show — a testament to the band’s deep musical roots and ongoing influence.
Based in Birchdale and Minnesota Hill, Sloughgrass continues to perform throughout Minnesota and the surrounding states, bringing their authentic sound to festivals, fairs, concert halls, churches, and private events. Their commitment to genuine musicianship and community spirit remains the foundation of everything they do.

Garrett Munro – December 29, 2025
Garrett Munro was born and raised in Rolla, ND. At the age of 15 he started playing a guitar that was gifted by his uncle. To this day that is the only guitar he owns.
With his bass vocals and acoustic style, Garrett gravitated to playing acoustic country music and began to appreciate the messages in the lyrics. He has since played at all types of parties, bonfires, weddings, church services, Adoration, bars, assisted livings, and for many other events. Although just a hobby for Garrett, he enjoys playing for others, especially when it is well received.
