The Infamous Stringdusters in Portland

The Infamous Stringdusters are an American progressive bluegrass band formed in Nashville in 2006. Their acoustic music draws on bluegrass, folk and the improvisational approach of jam bands. The group’s catalog includes the debut album Fork in the Road and Laws of Gravity, which received the Grammy Award for Best Bluegrass Album. In 2010, the group founded The Festy Experience in Virginia and served as its host band, making the event a recurring part of its concert history. Beyond its own festival, the band has performed at Telluride Bluegrass Festival in Colorado and Grey Fox Bluegrass Festival in New York. The five-piece performs on guitar, banjo, dobro, fiddle and upright bass, using harmony vocals and extended instrumental improvisation.
