West 45 plays hard-driving contemporary bluegrass. Based in Northern California, this multi-generational band is more than the sum of its parts: fresh and experienced, fun and serious, open-minded and traditional. Mei Lin Heirendt (age 17) and Ida Winfree (age 18) front the band and serve as principal vocalists, playing fiddle and mandolin respectively. Both young women have served as the Youth Ambassador for the California Bluegrass Association. They are supported by Hal Horn on banjo and vocals, Bruce Lacey on bass, and Jason Winfree on guitar
and vocals. Join West 45 at The Side Door, one of Sacramento’s premiere live music music, for an intimate night of acoustic sounds.
