What to expect

A fun evening of bluegrass and country music.

About

Blue Finger is Alex Benjamin on fiddle, Anthony Hernandez on mandolin, Tim Riley on guitar, Drew Slatton on banjo, Erin Slatton on ukulele, and Raven Young on bass. We are a collection of music teachers and students from the Houston area. We have a hybrid bluegrass/country sound, and play mostly original music composed specifically for our band, but play a few cover songs that have been reset for our sound as well.
