The Waddington Brothers with Seth Mulder & Midnight Run
THE WADDINGTON BROTHERS
The Waddington family (nine of them in all), originally from south western North Dakota, spent many years touring the United States and Canada, performing gospel music. Music has been in these men's blood since early childhood. When Seth was 15 and the twins were 12 they played in the “Frozen Fingers” Bluegrass Festival in Minot with their sister Amanda playing the Bass Guitar. Since then the brothers have performed at Silver Dollar City in Branson Missouri, they have been featured guests on "Dakota Air, the Radio Show" on Prairie Public radio as well as performing for North Dakota Governor Jack Dalrymple's inaugural ball in 2013.
SETH MULDER & MIDNIGHT RUN
In a day and age where authenticity is everything, Seth Mulder (Hillsboro, ND) & Midnight Run are the real deal. Hailing from the Gateway of the Great Smoky Mountains, Seth Mulder & Midnight Run began its journey in February 2015 at the Ole Smoky Moonshine Distillery in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. Made up of 5 like-minded musicians and graduates of college music programs, this group of friends and musicians created a band tied to the rich traditions of bluegrass music, yet one that offers a fresh approach to that "High Lonesome" sound. Each member draws from various influences, including bluegrass, country, and rock and roll.
