BEARGRASS

BEARGRASS includes the husband-wife duo of Shayne and Alane Watkins when performing for various acoustic gigs. When the BEARGRASS band ramps up, 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.

BEARGRASS had an exciting 2010 entertainment season. From their travels to Yakima, Washington for the Yakima Folklife Festival, and all over the inland northwest, including such venues as thePalouse Bluegrass Festival and the Clearwater Valley Rodeo, there were many good jams and good times!

For 2011, BEARGRASS will be playing some perennial favorite such as the Sage Baking Co., The Clearwater Valley Rodeo and Kooskia Days this summer and have already begun to book into the fall. They'll be at Symes Hot Springs in Hot Springs Montana in September and will begin playing for dances at the local lodges this fall and winter. Stay tuned, you never know where you might find them! Check their calendar as new venues are added often.
