They delight dancers and listeners of all ages.
they bring in Camille Hattrup on bass guitar and Kendall Huestis on drums to play the outdoor dances and clubs. BEARGRASS performs around the Northwestern US. With some catchy originals and a large repertoire of classic country tunes, BEARGRASS blends unique harmonies into an acoustic Americana sound with some traditional country twang and bluegrass twists.
Formerly The Mountain Men and Julie, BEARGRASS was formed in 2000 when a fourth member joined the band. Shayne and his parents Delvin and Julie Watkins had played together since 1979 and when Alane joined the band and later married Shayne, the name was changed to BEARGRASS. Shayne and Alane released their second CD, Three Chords and a Capo in 2007 and have another in the works. Beargrass is extremely versatile. They do acoustic sets for the listening crowds and coffee shops but for pure dancing fun, they are joined by drummer Kendall and bass player Camille to bring the two-stepping, country swing tunes to life.
