Band offers night of eclectic bluegrass and more

Acclaimed fiddlers Wallace and Zachary DePue lead the DePue Brothers band in a wildly eclectic acoustic program at Flathead High School on Wednesday, Feb. 26 at 7:30 p.m. 

The DePue family was called the “American musical family of the year” in 1989 by President George Bush and was the subject of a 1993 PBS documentary.  Brothers Jason and Zachary were also featured in a 2005 documentary entitled “Music From the Inside Out.”  The unique style and repertoire of the ensemble is aptly reflected in their album titles: “Classical Grass” (2003) and “Weapons of Grass Construction” (2010), drawing from material as seemingly disparate as Aaron Copland's “Hoedown” to “Flint Hill” by Earl Scruggs.  

The siblings perform alongside notable musicians Don Liuzzi (Philadelphia Orchestra) Mark Cosgrove (1995 flat-picking guitar champion), Mike Munford (banjo) and Kevin MacConnell (bass).
