Waddington Brothers to Perform at DC Performing Arts Center
The Waddington Brothers, a band of four brothers from rural North Dakota, will perform during a concert at the Dassel-Cokato Performing Arts Center – along with the Mahlstedts and the Kingery Family. The concert is on Friday night at 6 p.m. and admission is a freewill offering.
The annual Bluegrass Gospel Christmas will help to introduce the local audience to the Waddington Brothers as they perform music that is real to them and that takes listeners on a journey through the heart of the American West.
Seth, Ethan, Jacob, and Job Waddington skillfully blend cowboy and bluegrass music, creating
a style that’s timelessly classic and yet refreshingly new and unique. With their rich, stirring
vocal harmonies and instrumental versatility that ranges from hard-driving bluegrass to more
mellow acoustic tones, this quartet has developed a sound that is truly as strong as it is special.
Their gift for captivating an audience comes naturally to them. Whether they’re singing
about cowboys or cabins, hunting or horseback riding, ranches or Indian reservations, the
Waddington Brothers share heartfelt songs that evoke feelings of warmth, appreciation, and a
genuine connection to the way life was lived by our country’s pioneers.
This group shares their music as a well-polished craft: one that’s been cultivated by four siblings
who have been playing and singing together their entire lives. While their performing experience
together dates back to 2004, the band officially came together as the Waddington Brothers in
In 2023 at the annual SPBGMA (Society for the Preservation of Bluegrass Music
of America) Convention in Nashville, Tennessee, the Waddington Brothers took first place in
the International Bluegrass Band Competition.
