Slipshod

Slipshod, known as The Dynamic Duo of Bluegrass and Americana Music consists of Matt Snook (dobro and banjo) and Steve Blanchard (guitar and mandolin). They met a number of years ago as part of the Northwest bluegrass community and became fast friends and picking partners. These musicians formed Slipshod in 2012. Since then, they have enjoyed entertaining audiences with both their humor and musical skills. Matt and Steve offer listeners a broad and diverse range of music, including originals, familiar melodies, and dynamic instrumentals. Their harmonies and unique vocal interpretations add to their precise instrumental talents.

Matt has entertained with a variety of ensembles including the Snook Family Band, Free Range, and Sugar Pine. Steve has performed with Steve Blanchard and the Open Range, Bill Jolliff Bluegrass Gospel Band, Prairie Flyer, Jim Faddis and One More Ride and also, SugarPine.

Dont let this band's name fool you! Their mastery of the bluegrass/folk genre is ANYthing but slipshod. This Blanchard-Snook pairing is a wonderful balance of fluid instrumentals, strong vocals and good humor. Go see em!
