Squid City Slingers: Bluegrass, Folk & Gypsy Jazz Fusion
Get ready for foot-stomping rhythms and fiery strings with the Squid City Slingers, a high-energy acoustic trio blending bluegrass, folk, gypsy jazz, and rock into one irresistible sound. Based in the Twin Cities—with a second home in the Twin Ports—this trio has been lighting up stages across the Midwest with their stand-up bass grooves, flat-picking guitar, and soaring fiddle melodies.
Their performances combine heartfelt originals with carefully chosen covers, delivering tight harmonies and infectious energy that gets crowds moving. The band’s upcoming EP, Harbors & Highways, drops later this summer, featuring their new single Feed My Fire—a perfect preview of the dynamic sound they’ll bring to the Bayfield lakeshore.
