LOGAN – The Bridger Folk Music Society will host the return of the Stillhouse Junkies to Logan on Sunday, Oct. 15.
That event is scheduled at the Cache Bar at 7 p.m.
Since forming in 2017, the Stillhouse Junkies have developed a reputation for strangely charmed chemistry that has spread far from their hometown of Durango, CO.
The members of the Stillhouse Junkies are three lifelong musicians – Fred Kosak on guitar and mandolin, Cody Tinnin on upright bass and Alissa Wolf on fiddle.
While the talented band members offer up what many of their fans consider a hypnotic and high-energy form of bluegrass, they also deliver a genre-blurring and subtly inventive blend of music that ranges from blues, to classical, to Texas Swing.
In addition to their instrumental talents, fans of the Stillhouse Junkies also rave about their nuanced and soulful vocal harmonies.
The band has gained traction in the bluegrass world in recent years, including winning the 2021 Momentum Band of the Year Award from the International Bluegrass Music Association.
In addition to the band’s performance at the Cache Bar on Sunday evening, Alissa Wolf has offered to lead a fiddle workshop for local fiddlers while the Stillhouse Junkies are in town.
That workshop will be held Monday, Oct. 16 from 7 to 8:15 p.m. All interested fiddlers are welcome, although some prior experience is recommended.
The cost for the fiddle workshop will be $20 for adults and $10 for youngsters. If that cost is prohibitive for an interested fiddler, the Bridger Folk Music Society will consider scholarship opportunities.
Interested fiddlers are advised to contact Melanie Ballard to sign up for the workshop at [email protected]
