Called “one of the best clod kickin, hillbilly stompin', harmony laden, traditional bands around,” The Whistlepigs String Band pride themselves on tight three- and four-part harmony vocals and hot instrumentals.

They uphold the bluegrass tradition and break with convention, playing everything from Bill Monroe to The Beatles, old Appalachian and Irish tunes, along with a growing selection of original tunes rounds out their unique reportoire. Their stage show sizzles with the traditional dance around the old style single microphone.

This five-piece band includes banjo, mandolin, guitar, bass, and on fiddle, 15-year old Minnesota State Fair Fiddle Champion, Catie Jo Pidel.
