Slipshod — Matt Snook

WEEKEND: Slipshod slides into Concert in Woods in Coyle this Saturday

COYLE — Slipshod, a bluegrass duo from Portland, Ore., is headed here for another in the Concerts in the Woods series Saturday night.

As always, admission is by donation, and all ages are welcome.

The 7:30 p.m. show will take place at the Laurel B. Johnson Community Center, 923 Hazel Point Road, with host Norm Johnson laying out coffee and cookies at intermission.

Slipshod is Matt Snook on dobro and banjo and Steve Blanchard playing guitar and mandolin — two men specializing in bluegrass and homespun humor.

And their influences go beyond that one genre, to include Gordon Lightfoot, Norman Blake, Simon and Garfunkel, and Tim O’Brien, to name a few.

While Snook has played with Free Range, the Snook Family Band and SugarPine, Blanchard’s history includes the Open Range, Prairie Flyer with Jim Faddis and the Bill Jolliff Bluegrass Gospel Band.
