Pickles Butte Bluegrass Band - Pickles Butte, ID
Pickles Butte consists of veterans Gary "Slim" Eller (guitar and banjo), Jay Fromlath (bass), and David Gerthung (mandolin). The band operates as a trio but is joined on occasion by a talented fourth picker on dobro or fiddle. Pickles Butte focuses on the driving sound of Reno/Smiley, Red Allen, Jimmy Martin, early Country Gentlemen, and other masters of hard-edged pre-1970 bluegrass, with occasional pre-bluegrass, historic Idaho, and original songs. The band’s name was inspired by the geographic feature south of Nampa, Idaho, named for a ditchdiggers dog, where Slim lives.
