DUG and Hogslop String Band with Hannah Marie Kelley

This Pickathon Presents triple bill brings together three distinct Americana and bluegrass acts for a night of roots music at Showdown Saloon. DUG, a duo formed in 2023 by Conor O'Reilly and Jonny Pickett, blends American folk with Irish influences, creating a sound that is both playful and heartfelt. Their debut album is forthcoming on Claddagh Records, and their live shows are known for infectious energy and witty lyrics.

Hogslop String Band delivers a high-energy mix of old-time string band music with a rock-and-roll edge, led by singer and fiddler Kevin Martin. Their repertoire spans bluegrass, folk, psychedelic, and original numbers, earning them a reputation as one of the most unique live acts around. Hannah Marie Kelley, a rising Country/Americana artist from Tennessee, rounds out the bill with her silky vocals and authentic songwriting rooted in Appalachian storytelling.
