Lonesome Folk Trio: Utah’s Best Folk Music & Bluegrass Music!

Prepare to be swept off your feet by the toe-tapping, heart-stirring sounds of Utah’s premier folk and bluegrass ensemble, the Lonesome Folk Trio! This dynamic group isn’t just another run-of-the-mill band, but a musical powerhouse that’ll make your event unforgettable.

At the heart of this trio are two state champions who bring their A-game to every performance. Dan Riggs, the fiddle virtuoso, makes his strings sing with such passion that you’ll swear the instrument has come to life. Meanwhile, Sarah Cluff’s mandolin and guitar skills are nothing short of mesmerizing, weaving intricate melodies that’ll leave you spellbound. Sarah and husband Dan have played music together for over 15 years. They have toured the country and most of Europe with various bands and can play a wide variety of folk and bluegrass music.

The Lonesome Folk Trio, however, isn’t content with just two champions. Their stand-up bass player completes this musical trifecta with a “wow” factor that’ll knock your socks off. Together, these three create a harmony so perfect, you’ll wonder if they’ve made a deal with the devil.
