Masters of Bluegrass The Infamous Stringdusters Confirm Shows in Missoula & Bozeman
Grammy award winning bluegrass quintet, The Infamous Stringdusters, will return to Montana for two shows in 2021: first at The ELM on Friday, November 19th then at The Wilma on Saturday, November 20th. They’ll be supported by Boulder-based bluegrass trio, The Sweet Lillies.
The Infamous Stringdusters released their latest album, A Tribute to Bill Monroe, earlier this year. As the name suggests, the 7-track project was an ode to Monroe, who was a great influence on many bluegrass acts, especially the Dusters. FolkAlley.com said The Infamous Strindusters “steer the songs on A Tribute to Bill Monroe with fearless abandon and deep affection, delivering a joyous homage to Mr. Monroe.”
Last time The Dusters played in Missoula, we had the pleasure of listening to them perform a pre-show Trail Live Session, which you can listen to below. Every time the Dusters come to town, they put on a fantastic performance. They’re about as tight of a band as you can be. Check out some of the old photo galleries here.

About The Infamous Stringdusters
The Infamous Stringdusters dig deep into their bluegrass roots for their eleventh full-length record A Tribute to Bill Monroe, made available on Americana Vibes. For this album – which pays homage to the Father of Bluegrass includes songs that shaped them individually, and as a band, and recorded them each remotely from their home studios.
“Bill Monroe was, as far as I can remember, the first bluegrass music I owned,” shared Andy Hall. I asked my uncle for a Bill Monroe CD box set and got it as a birthday present when I turned 18. The sound coming out of my speakers blew my mind, almost like ancient acoustic heavy metal. But then a song like ‘A Voice From On High’ would come on, and even though it was slow, it had this captivating power. The ancient tones.”
The GRAMMY® Award-winning quintet—Andy Falco [guitar], Chris Pandolfi [banjo], Andy Hall [dobro], Jeremy Garrett [fiddle], and Travis Book [double bass]—have musical influences that truly run the gamut, but their common denominator is certainly bluegrass — the sound that has in essence defined the course of their career.
