In the mood for awesome, homespun bluegrass? Look no further. On Saturday, May 5, at 7 p.m., The Pearl Theater has the best this region has to offer: The Panhandle Polecats ... authentic, traditional, and original bluegrass known for their high energy, first-rate picking, and entertaining show.

“The Panhandle Polecats have gone from being just another cute family band to being the Top Dogs (er, ‘Cats) in the thriving Inland Northwest Bluegrass scene.” — Kevin BrownHost of “Front Porch Bluegrass” on KPBX, Spokane Public Radio.

Inspired by the sounds of Flatt and Scruggs, the Dillards, and Jim Monroe, the Polecats’ music and energy is deeply rooted in the classic traditions of legendary artists. The band consists of five siblings from Rathdrum, Idaho: Jenny Marks (vocals/bass), Molly Wilbur (vocals/mandolin), Hank Little (vocals/dobro/harmonica), Austin Little (vocals, banjo), and Bonnie Cambell (vocals/guitar).
