"Move over Von Trapp's, here comes the Sloughgrass Family Band. Originating in Birchdale, MN, these eight family members can get the crowd off their seats with the bands rich blend of bluegrass, gospel, country, folk and Scandinavian music. The Sloughgrass Family Band not only has ventured through the Minnesota landscape, but has also performed overseas in Denmark." ---Kylee Seifert, High Plains Reader spring 2012 High Plains Reader

Art Blackburn, Monroe Crossing

"The family band has long played a prominent role in the origins and development of bluegrass music, and that tradition continues to this day. We see family bands perform in every state at every festival. One of the finest and most entertaining family bands can be found right here in Minnesota--Sloughgrass. Their variety, musicianship and infectious enthusiasm always leaves the audience smiling and wanting more, and that, after all, is what's it's all about. Go and see them if you get a chance!" --- Art Blackburn, Monroe Crossing
