About this Event
Squid City Slingers is a high-energy trio blending bluegrass, folk, country and gypsy jazz. Based in Minnesota, they’ve built a strong following in the Twin Cities and Twin Ports with driving stand-up bass, fiery fiddle, and flat-picking guitar. Their mix of heartfelt originals and handpicked covers delivers foot-stomping energy and rich harmonies. SCS has played renowned venues like Bent Paddle, Earth Rider, Custer Beacon, and Cloudland Theater while making waves at major events. In 2024, they headlined Bluegrass on the Black Festival and SquidFest and played the MN Musician Showcase at Mall of America. In 2025, they hit Jackson MN’s Rhythm of the River Bluegrass Festival, Bayfield WI’s Apple Fest, St. Peter MN’s Rock Bend Folk Festival, ND’s Kota Ray Dam Music Festival, and River Falls WI’s Bluegrass Festival. In 2026 they have already made new ground in SD, WY, and CO. SCS also plays private events and weddings, with many booked for 2026. Their upcoming EP, "Harbors & Highways", dropped in Summer 2025, with their first 3 singles already released. SCS has appeared on TV (KEYC news), Radio (WTIP North Shore, 90.1 KSRQ-FM, 89.7 KMSU), VoyageMN Magazine, Mankato Free Press newspaper articles and online video performances, and NPR’s “The Great American Folk Show” podcast hosted by ND's folk legend Tom Brosseau. With new music and growing demand, Squid City Slingers are on the rise as one of the Midwest’s most exciting new acoustic acts.
