Band Bios:
The Bluegrass Regulators formed in February of 2009 and played their first show at the Bluegrass from the Forest festival that year. Originally consisting of Martin, Josh, Jake, and Luke - Molly joined the team in the Summer of 2010. Over the next few years the young group toured all over the PNW, released two CDs and received National recognition. In 2013, the band stopped touring as members all pursued professions, education, and family. Now, over a decade later, all five of the Bluegrass Regulators are excited to get back together for this midwinter bluegrass celebration!
The Dirty Birds
Washington native Jake Monroe grew up playing music in the PNW Bluegrass community.
He was a very familiar face in the Leavenworth music scene until he moved to Nashville where he’s been a first pick for gigs in town. He can play anything (even electric kazoo) but we are thrilled to have him singing and picking the banjo!
Kaiti (Dewhirst) Monroe grew up coming to the Bluegrass From the Forest festival and playing bluegrass with her family all over the PNW. She moved to Nashville 4 years ago and recently resigned her teaching job in May to pursue music full time. These days she’s often on the road and in the studio - working as a songwriter, vocalist, and instrumentalist for multiple artists.
