Squid City Slingers

The Squid City Slingers are a high-energy Midwest acoustic trio that masterfully blends bluegrass, folk, gypsy jazz, and Americana into a fiery, foot-stomping sound. Based out of the upper Midwest, the band features Sydney "Squid" Wojszynski on fiddle and vocals, Chris Cuellar on flat-picking acoustic guitar, and Riki Olson on stand-up bass and vocals. Together, they are known for their driving rhythms, sophisticated instrumentation, and magnetic live performances. The trio breaks the boundaries of traditional string music by infusing the raw energy of bluegrass with the swing of gypsy jazz and the storytelling grit of classic country. The band made waves with their debut EP Harbors & Highways, following it up with the critically acclaimed EP River Bottom Reveries, which features the standout track "Envy the Birds." They have also recorded a full-length studio project with the audiophile team at PSAudio.
