The High 48s return to the Parkway Theater with Minneapolis-Amsterdam roots music duo Frog and the Bog for a special evening of modern bluegrass, folk and Americana music.

In what has become an annual fall event, expect plenty of hot pickin', high lonesome harmonies and heartfelt songwriting Under A Bluegrass Moon!

Since forming in northeast Minneapolis in 2006, The High 48s have been making music that combines the soulful sound of classic bluegrass with a modern attitude.

They’re a band with one foot in tradition and the other in the world of music today, and one of the very few who can find an overlooked bluegrass classic in a song by M. Ward or the Clash then throw down hard on a standard by Bill Monroe.

The High 48s are also a band of songwriters. Here, too, they take a modern approach, heeding the well-worn advice to writers: write what you know. Their songs ring true to their lives as northern city-folk rather than an imagined “sweet, sunny south” of coal mines and dark hollers.

In 2022 the band released “Crocodile Man,” the first single off of their highly-anticipated 9th studio album that is set for release in early 2023.

An American and a European walk into a bar... Sounds like the start of a joke, but it’s how J and Lis met — J hailing from the Twin Cities, Minnesota, and Lis from Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Meeting randomly at a karaoke night in Minneapolis, the two started talking and soon discovered they had something in common: a passion for music.

Combining J’s experience from playing in Pert Near Sandstone for the last 15 years and Lis’s experience as a singer/songwriter, they joined forces in 2021 and started Frog and the Bog. Their debut single “Shadows on the Wall” was released in November of 2021.
