The Fretliners are a band defined by their songwriting and carried by powerful harmonies, dynamic arrangements, and a sound that feels both timeless and new. In 2023, they swept both the Telluride Bluegrass and RockyGrass band competitions—an achievement matched only once before. That fall, their debut self-titled album earned widespread acclaim for its originality and heartfelt lyricism.

With songs that balance tradition and innovation, The Fretliners are charting a bold path forward, creating music that connects as deeply on record as it does on stage. Don't miss them in Sisters on Sat, June 27 >>> https://www.bigponderoo.com/tickets

Bronwyn Keith-Hynes has already made her mark as one of the most celebrated fiddlers in bluegrass, earning two IBMA Fiddle Player of the Year awards and a Grammy-winning run with Molly Tuttle & Golden Highway. Now, she’s stepping into the spotlight with her own band and bringing her voice to the forefront.

Her debut vocal album "I Built A World" showcases a sound that blends high-octane bluegrass with the soul of country and American roots music, backed by a powerhouse group of Nashville musicians. With collaborations spanning some of the biggest names in acoustic music, including Sam Bush and Jerry Douglas, Bronwyn represents the next generation of bluegrass artists carrying the tradition forward while carving out a sound entirely her own.

Nothing says "I'm here for a good time" like a well-crafted festival fit. Take it from Zach Gill of ALO in his infamous yak-hat at last year's Big Ponderoo.

Have you started planning your looks yet?! It's almost tiiiime! 🎉

What began as a group of ski bums playing house parties in the Cottonwood Canyons of Salt Lake City has evolved into a nationally touring band that always aims to have the most fun possible. Pixie and the Partygrass Boys is composed of lifelong professional musicians drawn together by a common love of bluegrass and skiing. Featuring soulful, often harmonic vocals and solid strings and rhythm, this tight-knit crew was born out of the belly of a warm cabin after a long day on the slopes. With a high energy sound and a love for silly outfits, they travel the land spreading the gospel of whiskey, chickens, and fun for everyone.

Catch them light up the Pinecone Stage on Sat, June 27 plus 10 other incredible sets! https://www.bigponderoo.com/tickets
