Wow- Look no further- this band is perfect!

We were lucky enough to meet Mike and his family. They were so easy to work with on this outdoor event. They were in time, brought everything they needed. They were low maintenance and super accommodating. The crowd absolutely loved them and we will definitely be using them again.
Thank you so much Mike and Blue Sage!

Hired as: 1970s Era Entertainment, Acoustic Band, Bluegrass Band, Folk Band

About

The music of the Blue Sage Band revolves around the repertoire of folk singer Mike Iverson. One of the best known clawhammer banjoists, Mike also plays bluegrass banjo with the band.

On upright bass fiddle, we have Shauna Iverson. It’s Shauna's driving bass lines that provide the power behind the Blue Sage sound. Rocking out on stage, audiences find Shauna as much fun to watch as to listen to!

Heather Blaisdell brings the rich heritage of Celtic and American fiddle traditions to the band. Heather’s unique improvisations add an indispensable texture to the Blue Sage sound.

Shaundra Cragun is an exceptional singer, songwriter and guitarist. We are proud to showcase many of her original songs in every Blue Sage performance.

Award winning multi-instrumentalist Hudson Bosworth is no stranger to the bluegrass world. We feel fortunate to have him in the band on mandolin and guitar.

Additional booking notes

Blue Sage can provide its own professional quality PA system.

For festivals, conferences, or other events where a sound company has been hired, here is a list of our basic requirements.

Venue provides:
Mixing board with at least 10 XLR inputs
2 or 3 monitors
5 vocal mics on tripod boom stands
1 instrument mic on tripod boom stand
Stage power

Band provides:
3 instrument preamps
1 instrument mic and stand

Note: We prefer to sub-mix as to speed up stage setup time. If this were agreeable, we’d bring out own mic and monitors (in-ear).

Influences and inspiration

We love all genres of music, but tend to gravitate towards "roots music" artists.

James Taylor, Bonnie Raitt, Sam Bush, Gordon Lightfoot, Carole King, Grateful Dead, Gillian Welch, Bill Monroe, Molly Tuttle, Fleetwood Mac, John Denver, Bob Dylan, CSN&Y, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, The Eagles, New Grass Revival, Sarah Jarosz, John Prine, Allman Brothers, CCR, and The Band.

Setup requirements

We are pretty self contained, so all we need is a shaded area to perform when playing outdoors!
