Dadweed is a Portland-based trio reimagining pickin' and thumpin' by blending elements of jazz/folk/pop/R&B within a traditional bluegrass lens. Leaning heavily into three-part vocal harmonies and virtuosic instrumentation, the group strives to redefine what's possible in bluegrass. In its first year, Dadweed played for a foot stompin’ crowd at the coveted Oregon Country Fair’s main stage which led to it to being named one of Willamette Weekly’s best new bands of 2025.
