Blue Wolf

Blue Wolf

Jerry Spanhanks, Shirley Mauch Spanhanks, Nick Larson, Mike Hedding and Catie Jo Pidel are Blue Wolf. The love of bluegrass music brings this pack of musicians together. Jerry Spanhanks on banjo, dobro and guitar dazzles the audience with his smooth and innovative picking. Shirley Mauch Spanhanks flatpicks the guitar and sings lead and harmony. Nick Larson, bass player and harmony singer, is the backbone and drive behind Blue Wolf. He does a fabulous job of keeping the band in the groove. Mike Hedding is establishing himself as a great mandolin player with innovative leads and precise backup. Catie-Jo's fiddling keeps the energy level high and the performances exciting.

Blue Wolf's first CD, "Red River Moon" is available and their second CD "Brown Shingle Shack" was released in August of 2005. "Red River Moon" was nominated in the bluegrass/old-time music category at the 2003 Minnesota Music Awards. The band is available for weddings, festivals, parks and just about any other event where music is needed. Give us a listen and become part of the pack.
