Fog Holler and Late for the Train
-
Fog Holler is a bluegrass band with an edge. What gives them that edge is a topic of hot debate. For some, it’s musicianship - these bluegrass cats shred. For others, it’s the songwriting, traditional in style but topical in substance. Sometimes, they undeniably snare people with the squad factor - folks see 4 grown adults in matching monochrome, and they get curious. The secret, according to Fog Holler, is simply that they write and play bluegrass in 2024, with similar intention but very different context from the genre’s originators. Inspired by a range of influences from The Stanley Brothers to Buck Owens to Meshuggah, Fog Holler breathes fresh life into well worn forms like the murder ballad and the power waltz. Described by two-time Grammy Award Winner Cathy Fink as “The next generation of the many shades of grass”, Fog Holler’s captivating tunes and coordinated outfits are quickly enthralling longtime bluegrass fans and newcomers alike.

Late for the Train was born from an eclectic group of musicians who all share a love of American roots music. Part songwriter’s storybook and part jamgrass playground, the band’s powerful live show uplifts the spirit and rouses the soul.
Infused with the honest depth of the coastal redwood forests of Northern California, their songs grapple with the wonder, contradictions, and stark truths of living in the modern age. The band released their second studio album, The Flowers of Yesteryear, in April of 2024, with a third album forthcoming in 2025.
Late for the Train debuted internationally at the Westport Folk & Bluegrass Festival, Doolin Folk Festival, and on national Gaelic TV in Ireland in 2024 and actively tours across the West Coast. In addition to performing, the members are passionate educators & community collaborators. Head to their EPK for more.
