A classic pairing is back - the Oly Mountain Boys opening for Hillstomp!
November 30th, Juice Box Public House
Some of our most memorable shows over the years have been opening up at various venues for the Northwest's most intense country blues stomp duo Hillstomp! North Mississippi trance blues, a bit of Appalachia, and a dash of punkabilly come clanging and tumbling from assorted buckets, cans and BBQ lids, all drenched in rambunctious slide guitar.
This time we're throwing down at the Juice Box Public…
Downtown Oly shows May 2nd & 3rd!

Look at this real live vaccinated bluegrass band!
We haven't dusted off the sound system in a long time... but we had our first official gig in over a year, at a private July 4th party in Snohomish. We sang into microphones, we met and jammed with other musicians, we played "Country Roads" while people sang along. It was familiar and brand new all at the same time.
We're happy to announce you'll have a few chances coming up to see us live:

Review in Bluegrass Unlimited!
We're proud to announce that Diamonds & Flowers received a review in this month's edition of the venerable Bluegrass Unlimited Magazine!
A sample from reviewer Bill Foster: "This new project is a collection of tunes by band member Menser, and infuses some rock influences into their arrangements ... Menser’s pleasant vocals and the bands tight arrangement make this a most enjoyable project with lots of new songs which others may consider."
We've always been proud to have our music reviewed by Bluegrass…

Hello friends -
We hope you are healthy and happy! We miss playing music for you. A socially distant jam session is no substitute.

You can also order a good old-fashioned CD on our website.
It'd mean a lot to us if you'd follow us and…
