About
North Fork Crossing is redefining the future of string band music with a high-energy blend of Traditional Bluegrass, Psychedelic Rock, Americana, and Folk. Based in Montana’s scenic Gallatin Valley, this dynamic quintet — Cade Slayden (guitar), Ryan Kelly (mandolin), Rabi Phelan (upright bass), Silas Rea (fiddle), and Matt Hickey (banjo) — is on a mission to bring Bluegrass to a new generation. Since forming in 2021, they’ve built a loyal following across Montana, Idaho, Utah, and Colorado with their genre-blurring live shows that resonate with both Bluegrass purists and Jam Band lovers. Their 2024 self-titled debut album captures the raw energy of their performances, delivering original fiddle tunes, driving instrumental explorations, and thoughtful ballads that showcase their tight musicianship and songwriting depth.
